Civil discourse

Saint Philip’s website has a new page that offers a variety of resources developed by secular and non-secular sources, including the Episcopal Church. You can see them by visiting the “From Many, ONE” page on Saint Philip’s website.

The goal is to offer training in—and practice with—engaging people who hold opposing views. The hope is that the training and practice will enhance everyone’s abilities to have meaningful conversations and to repair the tears in the fabric of public discourse.

The divisive issues include, but are not limited to, gun violence, women’s bodily autonomy, women’s healthcare and reproductive rights, immigration and border issues, voting rights, the role of the police, and a multitude of social justice issues. All of these topics have significant faith-based implications for how to live out discipleship and witness to others.
