Our Sunday Forum conversation on civil discourse continues this Sunday, March 3. We will connect the pieces we have explored, from Thomas Keating’s reflections, to the Welcoming Practice with Cynthia Bourgeault and others, to Howard Thurman, and Don’s experiences. These are vital conversations for us to explore together as we come to understand the challenges we face in our society today. Come share in the space, from 9:30 – 10:30 AM in the parish hall!
