A Peace Prayer for Americans • May we learn again to listen to each other openly and without fear, learning how much we have in common despite our differences • May we learn again to deepen our empathy for the alien “other” as we enter imaginatively into the experiences of people whose lives are radically unlike our own • May we learn again to hold what we believe and know with conviction and be willing to listen openly to other viewpoints, changing our minds if needed • May we learn again to seek out alternative facts and explanations whenever we find reason to doubt our own truth claims or the claims made by others, thus becoming better informed� • May we learn again to probe, question, explore, and engage in dialogue, developing a fuller, more three-dimensional view of reality in the process Adapted from the Healing the Heart of America Discussion Guide. couragerenewal.org/PDFs/HHD/HealingHeartDemocracy-DiscussionGuide-Palmer.pdf
