Based on Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker J. Palmer. 
The program will include video interviews with the author.

This community dialogue welcomes people of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and generations. We will engage conversations about politics in ways that serve the common good. In particular, we’ll explore 5 Habits of the Heart that we can practice in everyday settings in our families, neighborhoods, classrooms, congregations, and workplaces.

5 Habits of the Heart that make democracy possible:

• An understanding that we are all in this together

• An appreciation of the value of “otherness”

• An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways

• A sense of personal voice and agency

• A capacity to create community

Rick Jackson, with his wife Marcy and Parker Palmer, is a Co-Founder and Senior Fellow of the Center for Courage & Renewal. He teaches, speaks, and consults with leaders, non-profit, and philanthropic organizations on a range of topics, including strategies to foster long-term civic renewal.

We will meet in the Living Room from 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. on Sundays, April 12 & 19.

For those who wish, we will travel together to St. Mark’s Cathedral on Saturday, April 25, to be confirmed by the Bishop.

The Gallery at Grace is currently hosting the work of a long-time member with her first-ever exhibit. That artist-in-our midst is none other than Susan Lick, and her show is entitled “Playful & Practical Fabric Creations.” In it Susan creatively collages textiles into everyday items like placemats and tote bags and then embellishes each with embroidery, buttons, lace, and beads resulting in striking one-of-a-kind pieces.

The Gallery is open M–F, 9 a.m. –1 p.m., Sundays until noon, and by appointment: gallery@gracehere.org. Bring a friend or out-of-town guest to see Grace and this beautiful gallery offering.
