[Lekooks] VOTE NO on constitutional amendment

[Kristin Sanden]

My two cents...

We have agreed that it is ok to discuss politics on lekooks. However, I
believe we also want to create a welcoming and safe environment for all of
us.

I think we just need to make sure we are all sharing from our own heart and
use the old trusty "I statements". We should be careful not to assume we
all think (or vote) alike. Maybe we can say "These are the reasons that I
have decided to vote 'no'" and to offer to discuss further by phone or in
person for those who want to learn more or discuss.

I suggest we all try to open all church conversations *assuming* *diversity*
of beliefs, opinions, values, politics and religious practice. We are alike
and different in many ways.

See you at Braver Angels to learn more and grapple with this more together
with you all
