‘A Battle of the Heart’ Remarks by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
Remarks by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf at the 2018 Templeton Prize Ceremony Washington National Cathedral, November 13, 2018 I want to first thank Heather Templeton and the John Templeton Foundation for the honor of paying homage to someone I truly respect, King Abdullah II of Jordan. I believe Heather’s grandfather, Sir John Templeton, would consider this year’s recipient an altogether fitting one for his esteemed prize: Sir John, a true visionary, understood the great moral burden that comes with privilege.
