Uniting Voices, Bridging Beliefs
- Together in Dialogue and Understanding
It seems we are sick with division. We often find ourselves in echo chambers with people who have the same beliefs. When we venture out, it’s almost impossible to have meaningful conversation. We can end up arguing, convincing no one, or retreating from any discussion about important issues. It happens at Church, in our families and in our communities.
Is there a way to heal this divide? Can we find ways to talk about important issues with others and still be one? Do we have the skills to have loving, meaningful and strong relationships with people, even when we hold different beliefs and opinions? Can we esteem others as ourselves and become one? (see D&C 38: 25, 27)
