 "Is Rotary still relevant?" That's the question that was posed on BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme on Monday 27th June.
Following on from the two half-hour documentaries about Rotary that were broadcast on Radio 4 in February, the BBC invited RIBI Vice President Ray Burman to explain to listeners how Rotary is as relevant today as it has ever been - both to the millions of people who benefit from Rotary's humanitarian and community efforts around the world, and also to its members of all ages.
If you missed the programme, it is still available to listen to again by clicking this link. If you are a member of a Rotary club within RIBI, please feel free to comment below (requires login).

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of theworthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's ccupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business and community life; FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. |

 Ethics deals with such questions at all levels. The subject’s core consists of the fundamental issues of practical decision making, and its major concerns include the nature of ultimate value and the standards by which human actions can be judged right or wrong.
For Rotary, The Four-Way Test is the cornerstone of all action. It has been for years, and it will be in the future. Of the things we think, say or do
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? The test is one of the hallmarks of Rotary. Since it was developed in 1932 by Herbert J. Taylor, who later became RI president, it has never ceased to be relevant. Its four brief questions are not based on culture or religion. Instead, they are a simple checklist for ethical behavior. They transcend generations and national borders. As Rotarians, we should have The Four-Way Test in mind in every decision we make, all day long. Our utmost responsibility is to speak the truth, to be fair, to build goodwill and better friendships, and to do our very best in all situations. Life is very turbulent today, and people all over the world are exhausted in their duties. Where are the dreams of a better world? Where are we? Who are we? What is our duty to ourselves, neighbors, and fellow citizens? Where are charity and our joint responsibility to humankind? |
