No Joke

 It started in Peoria of all places, with a rabbi, an imam, and a born-again preacher proving that when people like each other the rules change.

This is something we knew from lived experience and research … and then these guys let us into their friendship and behind the curtain of ideological opponents crossing the difference divide without surrendering their core beliefs.

Now we help communities large and small learn three practices and one skill for crossing the difference divide.

3Practices for Crossing the Difference Divide

1. I’ll be unusually interested in others

2. I will stay in the room with difference

3. I will stop comparing my best with your worst

The skill is learning to nurture and express genuine, deep, disciplined curiosity.

You can learn all about the 3Practices here.
