Synopsis
If you feel like politics and politicians have sunk into a hopeless pit of divisiveness and insincerity, you need this book. Amy Uelmen identifies some of the burning questions of our times: Does voting the wrong way constitute a sin? Are my misguided friends being inadvertently duped by political machines to make sinful choices? Are my misguided friends being inadvertently duped by political rhetoric that sounds good, but produces no social change in practice?
The 5 steps she proposes will help you ask the right questions and establish parameters that can produce actual dialogue rather than simultaneous monologues in your family, church, community, or town hall meeting. The insights are: (1) Believe it is possible to have a positive vision of politics; (2) Practice and refine communication skills based on love; (3) Understand where there is and is not room for compromise; (4) Recognize suffering as a springboard for love; and (5) Build the polis with constructive action.

5 Steps to Positive Political Dialogue
Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Conversations about politics often do not end well. The political divide can be enormous. Uelmen provides ways to close the gaps and inspires the reader to seek understanding despite political differences. The 5 Steps provoke the right questions and establish parameters that can produce positive action rather than simultaneous monologues in the family, church, community, or town hall meeting. The five insights are clarified with real-life examples:(1) Believe it is possible to have a positive vision of politics; (2) Practice and refine communication skills based on love; (3) Understand where there is and is not room for compromise; (4) Recognize suffering as a springboard for love; and (5) Build the polis with constructive action. The results achieved by following these steps may be a hopeful sign that the polarization dividing communities, churches, and nations can be bridged. Seller Inventory # CIN1565485076VG
