People often struggle holding a conversation with those whose opinions differ from their own.

The workshop examines how world views are formed, what helps them change, and how to expand one’s capacity to hear other opinions.

Persons of all faith traditions are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The cost is $45, which includes lunch.

Registration is required by Feb. 12 online at www.spsmw.org/events or by contacting Jason Frost at 812-535-2952 or jfrost@spsmw.org.
