What do you say when you hear hateful language?

What do you do when you disagree and still want a relationship?

How do we talk about topics on which we disagree?

Faith Lifetree Cafe joins with the Revive Civility movement for a 60- minute experience to build our capacity for civil discourse.  During the Cafe, as a participant you will be able to:

 Define civility

 Identify an “unlikely friendship” you can explore in your life

 Brainstorm safe, civil and respectful ways to respond to hateful speech or behavior

 Listen to another person’s perspective on an issue and reflect back

 Explain why being able to listen for the purpose of understanding can help you better interact with other’s who think differently than they do

 Engage in a respectful exchange regarding why you disagree with another person on a given issue

You do not need to use your own cell phone during this event.

LIfetree Cafe is a free conversation cafe, where all are welcome to join in compassionate, civil conversation.

Text, Talk, Revive Civility is Monday, March 2 at 7 PM.
