It’s given me so much food for thought because I know I could have benefitted from attending the Braver Angels meeting. I too often focus on the topic or issue at hand rather than viewing the person on the opposite side as a person…I tend to only see their views. Thank you, Friend.

I love how you’re willing to learn different ways of both communicating & listening to others in the opposing political camp, which is a wonderful ripple in itself!
Blessings, Jennifer

On the other hand, I believe that God smiles when we remember that we have never looked into the eyes of someone who doesn’t matter to God. When we listen, I mean really listen to others, we can bridge the gap between indifference and understanding.

I’ve not heard of that phrase, Lynn – how interesting! I’ll look it up because I love the sound of it. Thank you for sharing this here! I need all the tools I can get. ha.

It reminded me of the term, “Intellectual Hospitality” which when I first learned about the term now ties in with what you have shared. The C.S. Lewis Foundation addressed it at their Oxford conferences two years ago and it was the title of one of their talks…I attended virtually!
The need is great and we all must learn to give grace when such encounters arise.
