In the 30th episode of the Western Friend Podcast for this new year, we travel back to 2018 to revisit a panel of speakers discuss the topic of “Unity is not Unanimity”, examining ways to keep our communities together despide disputes and disagreements within. Friends discuss:
- Ways to work through conflict, based in love and spirituality
- The process of decision making when there may be disagreement
- The importance of eldering as spiritual guidance and/or spiritual mentoring
Remember, you can check out the archive of all 30 episodes wherever you listen to podcasts, and NEW EPISODES are released the first Saturday of each month.
