I believe that there is a role for advocacy on these issues, and that we as a church need to engage these issues to demonstrate that faith is relevant. I am now working with church conflicts at the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center. As a facilitator of group dialog, I am not going to be able to speak out on my own views, but I may find myself in a position to promote healthy conversation. And I believe that is a necessary role in getting people to consider each other's views in a thoughtful way. When it comes to resources for structuring healthy dialog, I've been most impressed with the work of Public Conversations Project. http://www.publicconversations.org/pcp/index.php Check out their free downloadable resources, outlines of structured dialogs, even resources in Spanish! I wish you well in your efforts! I really believe you're on the right track! Dear Sarah
