From “Wired to Lead: Being the Leader the Church Didn’t Think You Could Be” by Suzanne Nadell
What can the church do? Well, I believe we must start by talking about this. Nothing will happen without taking that first step. Honest conversations will be uncomfortable, and that’s okay because discomfort leads to vulnerability and transformation. You’ve probably heard the saying “nothing grows in a comfort zone.” I believe that to be particularly true when it comes to reconciliation. Create opportunities for dialogue. Then, when you invite someone who doesn’t look like you to open up, try listening more than speaking.
