Part 3: Paul Lambert on When Conflict Comes to Your Doorstep

For this 3 part bonus mini series, hosts Jennifer Thomas and Patrick Mason engage in a thoughtful conversation with Paul Lambert from the Wheatley Institute. Together, they explore the complex emotions and tensions that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may experience when feeling attacked or judged. The discussion highlights three common responses: retreating inward, trying to correct misunderstandings, and defending one's beliefs. Paul offers insights on how grounding oneself in the teachings of Jesus Christ can lead to unexpected, outward-focused actions that promote peace and understanding. [00:00:26] Religious pluralism in society.[00:06:01] The importance of religion.[00:07:34] Peacemakers in a divided world.[00:10:54] Public benefits of living faith.[00:15:25] Principles for harmony and respect.[00:17:02] Living faith publicly on social media.[00:20:12] Christ's example of invited discourse.[00:26:58] Faith and compassion in relationship.[00:27:40] Building non-contentious settings.[00:32:38] Spiritual identity over political identity.[00:35:17] Interfaith work's significance.[00:39:17] Faith as the first principle.[00:42:44] Interfaith engagement for flourishing society.[00:45:41] Peace through communion with God.For full show notes and transcript, visit https://www.mormonwomenforethicalgovernment.org/proclaim-peace
