Getting the Job Done Together

A couple of years ago I led a class on Adam Hamilton's book, "Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White." One of the main themes is the concept of people who are on very different sides of an issue finding common ground and working together.

Because very often we have the same ultimate goals.

In the state of Minnesota the abortion rate has dropped steadily for almost 30 years.

The pro choice people believe that it's because they've provided affordable birth control and sex education.

The pro life folks believe that it's because they've provided women and girls with life-affirming resources.

Others, especially some church groups, believe that it's a combination of all of this plus the love and support provided by groups working together.

All of them are rejoicing over these statistics.
