Dr. Jamie Jenkins: Civility Is Key Among Differing Perspectives

The Rev. Dr. Jamie Jenkins (UMC)

Want my unbiased opinion? Well, most often I don't have one. As much as one might try to be objective there are so many Influencing factors that effect every decision. Biases can be harmful but they may also be helpful.

Bishop Mark Hanson: People of the Resurrection

Bishop Mark Hanson (ELCA)
