FOCUS on contemporary issues: How to engage in heathy dialogue within a community of faith with Mick Duncan (WEBINAR RECORDING)
WEBINAR RECORDING. How can we make an argument instead of just having an argument? How can we disagree in a way where we end up still in relationship?
Description
In our churches today there is a diversity of opinion in how to respond to contemporary issues such as climate change, to vaccinate or not, race, war, inequality, politics (just to name a few). Such engagements can lead to conflict, clashes and collisions that can end up horrid, hurtful and harmful. There is a place for quarrels, disagreements and debates; but how to have them in a people-honoring manner? How can we make an argument instead of just having an argument? How can we disagree in a way where we end up still in relationship and not a riot? This webinar attempts to answer these questions.
