7 pm: Tuesday Topics
We live in people polarizing times! Politically our nation is perhaps more divided than it has ever been. Within our very own organization it sometimes seems that civil discourse is replaced by uncivil recourse to inappropriate messaging. Are there ways to defuse this level of irreconcilability? Can we find ways to interact with each other in ways that produce dialogue rather than log jams?
