Learn to Engage

Blogger Allan Johnson provides thoughtful guidance on the importance of engaging.

Engaging with others—particularly those who see the world differently than we do.

Engaging with the controversies and conflicts of our age.

Living in ways that reflect our daily struggle to engage with questions we may never answer…such that our lives are our response to these questions.

Questions about power and privilege, justice and subordination, suffering and intolerance….  As he put it,

“We must become the question, with the living of our lives the response.”

Engaging, thoughtfully and seriously, is the way to find answers, together, in our everyday living. 

The calls to ‘love our neighbors as ourselves,’ and ‘forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others’ are calls to engage…with love.
