Crucial Conversations
2025-04-26 08:30 - 12:00 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
We live in a time of great division,
especially on social issues…
How can we have a civil conversation on a controversial topic with someone who disagrees with us on a particular issue, without creating division, or causing damage to our personal relationships? That is, how can we have “difficult conversations” people may disagree on, but without creating further conflict? Can we approach these issues with an open mind and be willing to learn from each other? Can we create an environment that welcomes crucial conversations on important issues that can bring us together, rather than separate us? And, in an era of media bias, how do we discern the “truth” on these social issues?
Through techniques grounded in emotional intelligence, and using the tools of appreciative inquiry and respectful listening, we can learn and grow together, rather than create division and animosity between us.
It has been said that through education comes understanding, and through understanding comes tolerance, and through tolerance comes peace. Jesus modeled for us how to manage conflict and, as Christians, we are called to follow his leadership in our relationships with others.
Please join us as Rev. Robb Kneuepfer leads us through a workshop he’s doing as part of his post graduate work, on how we can improve our skills in dealing with conflict on social issues without damaging our relationships with others – all based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
