MINISTRY COLUMN

FAMILY MINISTRY: UNDERSTANDING MONTH

"We must be reminded that the first condition for mutual understanding is the desire for, the seeking after, and the willing of the understanding. Such a statement may appear very commonplace. Nevertheless, this basic attitude toward understanding others is far rearer than we think. Listen to all the conversations of our world, those between nations as well as those between couples. They are for the most part dialogues of the deaf. Each one speaks primarily in order to set forth his own ideas, in order to justify himself, in order to enhance himself and to accuse others. Exceedingly few exchanges of viewpoints manifest a real desire to understand the other person" by Paul Tournier, from  To Understand Each Other , 1967.
