The bishops speak with author and theologian Brian McLaren about the sacred practice of listening for understanding and entering conversations with curiosity instead of certainty. What does it mean to foster a climate of faithful inquiry grounded in respect for each person’s dignity? What does it mean to be ready to embrace the truth? When the conditions are right, fruit can be born and genuine friendships can be built.
