We’ll explore the concept of Pluralism in the world, in the neighborhood, and in the self. Within communities and within themselves, people are multifaceted. Love is a tool to meet the multifacetedness that feels like an other, without othering. Let’s consider how loving thoughts and actions lead to kind curiosity and compassionate coexistence. We will take a special offering for CASA of McHenry County.
