If we are better together, why are we so far apart? Pope Francis urges us to seek out new ways of thinking and deepen our capacity for kinship with those whose worldviews diverge sharply from our own. The focus of this session is charting a path from culture-war polarization to solidarity, kinship and culture peacemaking. The day will include an explanation of polarization’s roots and remedies as well as paired conversations and modified peace circle participation.
