Holding space for the "other" with Oriented to Love

Today we talk with Kristyn Komarnicki and Shae Washington of Oriented to Love, a dialogue program of Christians for Social Action. These dialogues are a brave space for Christians of different sexual orientations, gender identities, and theological convictions to pursue unity that is deeper than agreement, and to practice discerning the image of God in someone you disagree with.

Kristyn and Shae teach us how to approach our own “other” with the posture of a learner and embrace the pain and vulnerability that comes with true intimacy and relationship. They help us reframe conflict not as something to be feared or avoided but as an opportunity for maturing in Christ.
