Tonight, we attempt to bridge divides. Tonight, we will
gather and talk about issues that matter to us. Tonight, we will dare to nudge
our awareness forward to understand others’ thinking that differs from our own.
We come together to share and learn. We form the connection – the Nexus – so we
can be fully with others. Without hiding our thoughts or feelings.
But with civility and honesty. Gentle, too. Perhaps we will
display the sorrow that accompanies anger and frustration? We will work to make
that possible.
Nexus will become a regular program to gather people who
honestly wish to share and learn opinions and beliefs of others. This is an act
of faith lived to respect others; to value others. We will not agree with one
another; but we will respect one another. This we do to find community within
our reach.
If this appeals to you, join us. Trinity Lutheran Church,
Curtis and Warrenville Roads, Warrenville, Illinois. Tuesday, February 5, 2019
at 6:30 pm. We will find other locations for future meetings. We will identify
topics of interest for future focus. Together we will map out a method to
discuss without rancor or blame the things that matter to each of us.
Fresh air in our daily lives is the hoped-for goal. Peace to
carry us forward in a dangerous world at a dangerous time. Built on trust and
faith in each other. And in safety, too.
Can this actually happen? In this day and age?
Join us to see what happens.
