The Adult Education Committee invites you to participate in Parker Palmer’s free, 45-minute course on ChurchNext.tv between September 5 and 19.
We are in the midst of what may be the most polarizing and contentious elections in recent U.S. history. Many observers note that the political rancor and rhetoric has reached all time highs, injecting unprecedented fear, division, and unease into our culture.
How do we make sense of this? How do people of faith respond? How do we remain calm and centered amidst our difference and tension, taking our roles as peacemakers, and even prophets, seriously?
Educator, author, and activist Parker Palmer has a few ideas. He has written extensively on faith and democracy issues. In this course, he offers thoughtful insight into how we might approach divisive political issues with grace and grit.
Register for free on the Bridging the Political Divide page at churchnext.tv.
