The Check-in: How to Love Your Enemy w/ Andrew DeCort (Live in Chicagoland)

Telos

This week on The Check-in, we tried something new: a live episode!

A few weeks ago, we gathered the Hosts from our Telos Table program, which builds the peacemaking movement locally in cities across North America, for a weekend of training and connection. We discussed the ways communication can divide, but also the ways it can be used to counteract violence and build pathways to peace.

We then had a very special evening hearing from international peacemaker and founding director of the Neighbor-Love Movement, Andrew DeCort (PhD). Andrew blew us away with his vision for what it looks like to “love the other.” He discussed the ways in which “when we love the enemy, we become the enemy,” and how grief and lament are essential to the work of peacemaking.

Despite the technical challenges, we think this conversation is one you do not want to miss.
