Getting Along Despite Differences of Opinion
Sometimes the best way to overcome our differences is to not address them directly. Having a conversation does not have to have a point, and certainly doesn’t require that we get the other side to agree. Even if we end up disagreeing on some important point or points, we can usually agree to disagree in a more agreeable way if everybody feels like they’ve been heard. If we came together to discuss theology and we have serious differences of opinion we will probably not have a very civil conversation. But, if we come together to just converse with each other about whatever might come up and can be civil in our general conversations, we are more likely to have civil conversations about the theological matters which we might disagree about. Another very important thing to facilitate civil conversations is to try to meet our interlocutor on the basis of their individuality rather than pigeonholing them into some category. When liberals categorize their interlocutors as “evangelical Christians,� for instance, they are likely to overlook the huge differences possible among individuals who consider themselves evangelical Christians. Forcing people to agree with you is a kind of violation of their God-given right to come to their own conclusions.We don’t need for there to be complete consensus on most of the moral, religious or political issues which we disagree about, but we do need for us to be able to live together despite those disagreements. “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.� R.S.V. Matthew 5:48
