People tend to rush to respond in a conversation. Turns of conversation (defined as a change of speaker) internationally is timed at around a 20th of a second. That’s not much time to consider the message of the speaker.
Today’s divided culture longs for people who can speak with grace. People seem to have lost the ability to listen to one another. Unfortunately, many people have confused disagreement with oppression and hatred.
What if we understood how to listen deeply enough?
What if—when asked—we could respond by speaking with such grace that we could be heard?
This is an open invitation to a workshop sponsored by the Board of Lay Ministry that follows our new call to “Listen with Love, Speak with Grace, and Act for Justice.” This free workshop, “Speak with Grace,” will be held online on Tuesday, August 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
