In 2006 the group discussed the book Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. |
Winter 2007 Justice Action—Finding Common Ground
The Audacity of Hope, by Barack Obama inspired our group to create a community connection with young adults holding different social and religious perspectives. We networked with a group from Mars Hill Church (Evangelical Christian Bible focused Church).
In a marketplace of ideas the groups strove to evade debate and seek common ground on several issues. The group dialogue focused the most attention on the environment. A wide political spectrum was represented from “big government” to “hands off government.”
We exchanged teachings and traditions from our religious backgrounds and all agreed some regulation/intervention is necessary to help our country and the rest of the world be good stewards of the Earth. As our conversation progressed we overcame some stereotypes and built a foundation of common ground that will nurture current grassroots efforts and future interactions.
