The great mistake made in regard to the matter now under consideration is to take up with the notion that class is naturally hostile to class, and that the wealthy and the working men are intended by nature to live in mutual conflict. So irrational and so false is this view that the direct contrary is the truth. Just as the symmetry of the human frame is the result of the suitable arrangement of the different parts of the body, so in a State is it ordained by nature that these two classes should dwell in harmony and agreement, so as to maintain the balance of the body politic. Each needs the other: capital cannot do without labor, nor labor without capital. Mutual agreement results in the beauty of good order, while perpetual conflict necessarily produces confusion and savage barbarity. Now, in preventing such strife as this, and in uprooting it, the efficacy of Christian institutions is marvellous and manifold. First of all, there is no intermediary more powerful than religion (whereof the Church is the interpreter and guardian) in drawing the rich and the working class together, by reminding each of its duties to the other, and especially of the obligations of justice(RN 19)

John Médaille: I am proud to announce the publication of my book, The Vocation of Business: Social Justice in the Marketplace, by Continuum International.The overriding theme of this book is that the original unity of distributive and corrective justice that prevailed in both economics and moral discourse until the 16th and seventeenth centuries was shattered by the rise of an individualistic capitalism that relied on corrective justice (justice in exchange) alone. But an economics that lacks a distributive pr

Scots Keeping Home Crafts and Heritage alive.

Weavers won’t let tartan heritage be kilt off

Step into the Weaver’s Cottage in Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire and you will be transported back centuries to experience the life of a Weaver.

Built in 1723, this idyllic cottage houses the last piece of history within a town that was once teeming with weavers and their families.

“The cottage itself was built in 1723,” The National Trust of Scotland weaver Christine, one of few allowed to use the 200-year-old hand loom, explains.

Weavers won’t let tartan heritage be kilt off

“What would happen is that the living accommodation was upstairs and the work was downstairs. At that period of time, weavers were masters of their own destiny – they could control the hours they worked.”

Agnes Christie donated the house to The National Trust of Scotland in 1949 and since that time, the cottage has continued to produce unique brands of tartan using the last remaining hand loom and obtaining natural dye from plants and herbs in the cottage garden.

“We like to think that we give people a real flavour of what it was like to live and work here,” Christine said. “It is not just about the weaving, it is about the whole way of life of the weavers of the past.”

The life of a weaver was not an easy task with one simple miscalculation ruining the look of the intricate tartan design so widely admired around the world.

“It requires a great deal in terms of math,” Christine said. “If you haven’t got your calculations right, then the whole piece is wrong.”

The hand loom is currently being used to create a new blanket for the bed of Robert Burns at the Burns Cottage in Ayrshire and the trust is hopeful that this unique window into history will continue to remind future generations of the life and work of a Scottish weaver.
