The Brown Bag Lunch discussion at the Baptist House at Chautauqua on July 14 went extremely well. There was a good group eager to discuss the problem and to begin to find a solution. There were many questions and even more examples of how bad the situation really is. The program was co-sponsored by the United Church of Christ Association. Pat Brown the hostess of Baptist House was helpfulness itself. The idea is to do it again next year and to keep the discussion going. On Friday afternoon there was a session, “Is Civility Only for the History Books/” It was presented by Robert E. Bullock, president of the Archives’ Partnership Trust of New York. He chose five examples of public civility as examples for his presentation. There was a discussion to which I contributed after someone raised a very disturbing question. “Are religious hard liners adding to or helping to create the atmosphere of incivility in our culture?” This session was also very well attended. There seems to be a real desire to turn down the rhetoric and to make our communication more Christ like. There is a place for everyone to get involved. Join us. Resolve not to become a part of the harshness, and to spread a message of peace
