Alternatives to Divisions in Challenging Times

Join us for a six-week course designed to help us bridge divides with people whose viewpoints differ from our own. We’ll begin by exploring formative experiences that have shaped our own values, perspectives and political views, and we’ll recognize that others have been shaped in similar ways.

Join us for a six-week course designed to help us bridge divides with people whose viewpoints differ from our own. We’ll begin by exploring formative experiences that have shaped our own values, perspectives and political views, and we’ll recognize that others have been shaped in similar ways. Using the framework of the Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC), we’ll look at polarization in society, and through real life situations, discover options for responding to challenging incidents encountered individually and in the public arena.
The course is led by Bethlehem member Nancy Maeker. The group meets in person in Langemo Lounge (MPLS) on Mondays, 4:30-6:30 pm.
Participants will take the Intercultural Development Inventory between the first and second session; cost is $25. (Those who participated in the fall do not need to repeat the IDI.) For more information, contact Pastor Kris, [email protected].
