Healing the Divide Meeting
Healing the Divide is a UUCPA group which formed after the 2016 elections to ask 1) what do we not understand about others with more conservative view points and 2) what can we learn that will help us communicate even across wide differences in belief.
Dick Duda will give a half-hour presentation on the book by CNN commentator Van Jones entitled Beyond the Messy Truth: How We Came Apart * How We Come Together.
Dick will focus on the last chapter, which proposes some specific ways for liberals and conservatives to work together. He will then invite a discussion in the form of a brain-storming session on other thoughts that come to mind on how we might come together to heal the divide.
It would be helpful if you could read Jones’ book beforehand, particularly Chapter 6. Short of that, Dick recommends interview of Van Jones by Michael Krasny:

All are welcome!
Please note: We will take a summer break, so this will be our last meeting until the Fall.
