OCT 10 - Rev. Dick Heiss was with us at the Bristol Public Library to discuss a writing by Martin Buber. It seems we are living in a society in which civility/civil discourse is a dying species. We see this clearly in the political and social aspects of everyday living. Winning and defending one's position seems to be more important these days than listening to the other person with respect. Jewish philosopher and theologian Martin Buber offered a model of relationship building and practice in his writing, “I and Thou”.  Dick presented a summary of Buber along with a group exercise.
