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.  


In 2006 the group discussed the book
Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
