How do we work with people we don’t agree with, like, or trust?

In a time of increasing division and polarization, how do we remain faithful to our call to seek justice, repair relationships, and uphold the dignity of every human being?

Join the Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing for a timely and thought-provoking virtual conversation with Adam Kahane, internationally recognized facilitator, author, and one of the world’s foremost experts in helping people work across deep differences.

For more than three decades, Adam has convened political leaders, business executives, activists, public servants, faith communities, and civil society organizations to address some of the world’s most complex and deeply entrenched challenges. Through his work in more than fifty countries, he has helped people who profoundly disagree—and who may not like or trust one another—move beyond polarization toward meaningful collaboration and lasting change.

Inspired by his groundbreaking book, Collaborating with the Enemy: How to Work with People You Don’t Agree With or Like or Trust, this conversation will explore how we can move forward together without requiring agreement, abandoning our convictions, or denying the dignity of those with whom we differ.

Adam will join us live from Canada for an honest, courageous, and deeply practical conversation for faith leaders, educators, community organizers, nonprofit professionals, and all who are seeking wisdom and hope for navigating our divided world.
