In today’s deeply divided society, it seems the church is not immune. Even as we in the National Council of Churches seek to find common ground among our 38 member communions, we are aware that churches within our fellowship are dealing with deep divisions of their own. Is there an ethic or set of practices that might be helpful in times like these?
My guest today, Dr. James Davis of Middlebury College, comes to speak with us today about his book with the title of “Forbearance: A Theological Ethic for a Disagreeable Church.” We will talk about his book, the inspiration for it, and how a recovery of this ethic might help bring about good in the world beyond the church.
