the struggle of serving, in the middle of a pandemic, as one of the ministers to a mainline Protestant church that is full of a politically mixed group of folks, who are almost entirely white, in a town community that difficulty listening to each others concerns and speaking openly and honestly about them in careful and gentle ways. Our town and church are particularly struggling with discussing critical race theory, masking, affordable housing and health care. Luckily, we have been able to train a small group pf folks in “Reflective Structured Dialogue” through Essential Partners in Cambridge, MA in an effort to hopefully inspire individuals in our church/community to work together on hosting listening sessions to engage in difficult conversations across differences. Please pray for us.Amy A. Bruch
