Sunday School
Hello friends. Sunday school starts this Sunday and we wanted to give you a bit of info on your choices.
“Generous Communication: Public Deliberation as a Practice of Compassion” with Sharyl Loeung and Daniel Harris
Do you find it impossible to get on the same page to have a meaningful conversation with some people? Have you given up on seeing any real change in people on "the other side" so you just avoid them? Our societal rhetoric has reached a flustering height of polarization and divisiveness, but we can't forget when we speak with each other we are also entering into a state of communion, a temporary oneness with our neighbor. As we enter this act of communion as communication, we can be generous with our listening, generous in our interpretations, and generous in the gentleness of our words. Learning to view communication within this more generous framework is what allows us to begin to reframe the conversation with more care and compassion.

Young Professionals Game Night

On September 9, @ 7 PM gamers of all stripes will gather at UBC for snacks, eats, and the thrilling experience of playing board games.
