Make Me an Instrument: A Guide to Civil Discourse
https://www.churchnext.tv/library/make-me-an-instrument-for-groups/109669/about/
This free 5-week online curriculum was built in conjunction with The Episcopal Church’s Office of Government Relations and Department of Faith Formation in partnership with Church Next, a ministry of Forward Movement. This is an amazing curriculum. It's one of the best we offer. Because we know about polarization and deadlock - and this is a really helpful way forward.
|
|
Plus it's FREE - and it's 5-weeks - perfect for Lent.
Civil discourse is engagement in conversation intended to enhance understanding. Representatives and teachers from across the church teach it as a skill that we can develop and use to build healthier communities through building relationships across divisions within those communities.
Instructors teach civil discourse as a specific style of conversation that requires particular skills and practices. The goal of these conversations is to be in deeper relationship and to more truly know each other’s dignity and worth.

Bishop's Lenten Series
March 18, 25, April 1
WHOSE PROPERTY IS IT ANYWAY?
We often think about Lent as a time to give things up. But this begs the deeper question: what is ours to give up? What actually belongs to us, and how has Christianity traditionally approached the notion of private property?
This three-week series presented by Bishop Thomas Breidenthal will look at some early Christian answers to this ancient question, and how these answers may offer guidance as we struggle with immigration policy, homelessness, and reparations.
The series will be live-streamed so that all in the diocese can participate.
