@corafortin It depends who was running against him.

[Daniel L.Diehl @chfdiehl]

@0DonaldTrumpJr1 Yes, and although Biden was a terrible president, I would shake his hand too. He was the pesident and God would want me to.

St. Ignatius, the Preparatory Prayer and the Suscipe (the Latin word meaning “take”).

Grant, Lord, that all my intentions, actions, and operations be directed purely to your praise and your service.

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me. Amen.

Principles for Healing Political Strife: Insights from a Book Group Discussion

Reflecting on Community, Humility, and Courage for a Divided World

As 2025 ended, members of St. Luke’s UMC’s Living the Question book-study group took a step back from our usual theological readings, opting instead for secular topics to foster fresh dialogue during the holidays.

I volunteered to lead a discussion centered on Steven Mintz’s essay, “Liberalism’s Hollow Heart,” which sparked a thoughtful conversation about the values that could help our country overcome today’s intense political divisions. Fortuitously, I had just finished reading Parker Palmer's latest book, "On the Brink of Everything" and had previously read his earlier best seller, "Healing the Heart of American Democracy." Together, these readings gave us language that helped articulate our perspective.

Our group identified several core principles as essential for healing and unity:

· Shared Humanity: We must consider those we disagree with as family, not enemies, and remind ourselves that we love them. And if love is an action word, we must act our way into right-thinking and feeling.
· Humility: Our group agreed that none of us has the complete picture, and authentic humility keeps us grounded. Admitting that we don’t have all the answers encourages trust in the process and, for those of faith, reliance on God. We can create more reliable and trustworthy communities by pursuing wisdom, remaining mindful, and learning from people who demonstrate integrity. As Jesus reminded us, “Wherever two or more have gathered in my name…” we are called to connect and collaborate, rather than go it alone.
· Courage: True courage isn’t about being fearless—it’s about acting despite our fears. Our group emphasized the importance of risk-taking, transparency, and the willingness to own our motives and mistakes. Progress requires us to step forward even when the outcome is uncertain.
· Hospitality: Practicing open-mindedness and assuming the best intentions in others, especially online, fosters a more welcoming environment. We discussed the “platinum rule”—treat others as they want to be treated—and the power of active listening to ensure everyone feels heard and respected.
· Humor: We noted that humor, when used with awareness and moderation, can bring people together. However, it’s important to recognize when humor crosses a line and causes harm, especially in today’s fast-paced social media landscape.
· Paradox: Finally, the group acknowledged that holding opposing ideas at the same time is a necessary skill. For example, selfless service benefits others, yet it also makes us feel good—a paradox worth embracing as we strive for both personal and communal growth.
These principles—shared humanity, humility, courage, hospitality, humor, and paradox—offer a hopeful path forward. By embodying them in our interactions, both online and in person, we can contribute to healing the divisions that challenge our society. However, without a commitment to these principles, the chances are things will get worse.
The work ahead is not louder certainty; it is deeper character.
