Respectful Conversations Project

In 2012 we held 55 conversations around the state with 1500 Minnesotans building empathy among people who disagreed with each other over the amendment to define marriage.

This year, join a movement of people who are talking about divisive issues in a way that moves us to handshaking, not fist shaking; to insights and understanding, not arguments and slogans.

Prepare for these conversations with your strongest convictions and a spirit of inquiry. These conversations are designed not to change minds, but soften hearts. Find out how our community can talk across differences in a way that stitches together rather than tearing us apart.

The topics for our 2013 conversations are still being selected, but watch this page for more information.

Pre-registration is appreciated - To register, click here.

Congregations interested in hosting a conversation should contact Tonia Johnson, Program Organizer, at (612) 230-3213 or tonia.johnson@mnchurches.org.
