How can introspection, empathy, and active listening help us tell the stories of others with authenticity and understanding? This workshop, centered on the intersection of faith and politics, will challenge and encourage participants to build relationships of difference, especially in their political and public lives.

Amid today's politics and culture, Christians can reject fear, cynicism, and incivility, and choose to share a story of hope instead, while acting as agents of change. This Plenary session will explore the intersection of faith and politics by centering the role of hope in the Christian story.
