A Covenant of Kindness

We have lost the skills of civil discourse.  We have forgotten how to be kind to those with whom we disagree. 
The Board of General Superintendents of the Church of the Nazarene is attempting to recall us to basic Christian kindness in our conversations and debate.  They have released a "Covenant of Kindness."
As the debates here and in our home communities have been overheated at times, I rejoice that more people are speaking out on behalf of mutual respect and genuine humility in conversation.  May this be part of our collective healing.

Too Close for Comfort

This was originally posted on an anti-emergent site. Perhaps we can see this in two ways:
1) A humorous reminder to pursue true humility.
2) A call to think more deeply about the nature of humility amid conflicting ideas.
