bring some portion of misery to an end

Subject: How do we even begin the conversation?
How do you even begin a conversation about . . . .
Politics? The war in Iraq? Stem-cell research? Evolution?
Where do you even start?
How do we engage each other as Christian sisters and brothers in the midst
of a society polarized by issues? How should we as Christians relate to
political parties and political powers? And how do we talk together when we
disagree? How do we care for each other?
How do we do follow Jesus . . . in a red and blue world?
