Description
Join facilitator Rick Jackson at Grace Episcopal Church, Bainbridge Island as we together seek to answer the question "How can we protect a democracy worthy of the human spirit?"
Based on the book "Healing the Heart of Democracy" by Parker J. Palmer, the program will include video interviews with the author.
This community dialogue welcomes people of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and generations. We will engage conversations about politics in ways that serve the common good. In particular, we’ll explore 5 Habits of the Heart that we can practice in everyday settings in our families, neighborhoods, classrooms, congregations and workplaces.
5 Habits of the Heart that make democracy possible:
-An understanding that we are all in this together
-An appreciation of the value of “otherness”
-An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways
-A sense of personal voice and agency
-A capacity to create community
