The Civility Initiative: Living into a Conscious Life of Care & Compassion
Sunday, January 19, 2025

COST: $35
Every day in our encounters and contacts with the world around us – with family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors, as well as in social media and news programs, we experience a gamut of actions, reactions, and responses. Some are positive and inspiring, and others are divisive, negative, and demoralizing. In recent years and even now, we witness racial unrest, overt and covert cultural biases, and the utilization of preconceived and intolerant attitudes and language in personal, political, and public arenas.
This lack of civility in our daily encounters is discouraging at the very least. Many of us find that our personal conversations are becoming divisive and are breaking apart close friendships and family relationships. The campaigns and Presidential election of 2024 have brought this even more to the forefront.
In honor of the legacy left by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we will focus on the core values that comprised his life and his teachings. Our time together will include brief presentation, reflective silence, and small group conversation as we ponder the question, “Who is the Holy One that I reflect to the world?” What is the message I proclaim?
