Tag Archives: dialoguing through our differences

The FāVS leadership team talk about improving dialogue a lot — obsessively, even — and we're especially concerned about helping people from less-represented background join the conversation here.

No matter where in the world I am, I have to advocate that, “we have more in common than you think.”

I propose we let the tolerance talk subside in favor of other virtues. One such virtue or practice that comes to mind to replace tolerance is to abide.

As we connect and communicate with people, ideas, and experiences that are different from our own we grow, we learn, and we heal. These are some of the good reasons to dialogue through differences.

An idea worth having is one worth defending, openly and honestly.
