It seems increasingly difficult to build community as our world breaks down into camps and factions in which misunderstanding and accusations fly back and forth. In this video, Professor O'Keefe helps us recognize forces that contribute to social division and name our theological hope for building community amid difference. She identifies practices that may help ministerial leaders build the possibility for dialogue, understanding, and community.

Note: Professional development sessions include two actions:

1. Watch a pre-recorded presentation for the session (available on this page starting 8AM ET, 10/16)

2. Participate in a live conversation with the session facilitator(s) from 7:00-8:00 PM ET, 10/20
