Please join us on Sunday (5 March 2017) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class. We will continue our discussion of the book Dignity: The Essential Role It Plays in Resolving Conflict by Donna Hicks, PhD.
For this week we are covering chapters 11 through 14.
We begin looking at the “Ten Temptations” that can cause us to violate the dignity of others as well as our own.
In her work with businesses, schools, organizations, and governments, Donna Hicks has come to draw a distinction between “respect” and “dignity.”
We often see respect as something that must be earned, or can be lost.
We do not have to respect bad behavior, but we do need to grant each person basic dignity, just as we are entitled to claim that for ourselves.
This is an important book for these contentious times, and we hope to make it a congregational read.
We have ordered ten more books available for purchase next week at a cost of $14.00. This book is also available for order in print and electronic format.
