Nashville, Tenn. (TN Tribune)-On Sunday, September 8, at 9:30 AM, Edgehill United Methodist Church is hosting the authors of the book, I Think You’re Wrong (but I’m Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversations. Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers are two working moms from opposite ends of the political spectrum who teach us that politics don’t have to divide us.

People sitting together in pews every Sunday feel like strangers, and loved ones at the dinner table feel like enemies.

Sarah (from the left) and Beth (from the right) are also co-hosts of Pantsuit Politics, recently named an Apple Podcasts Show of the Year. They will focus on the tools we need to:• Respect the dignity of every person• Recognize that issues are nuanced and can’t be reduced to political talking points• Listen in order to understand• Lead with grace and patience.
Sarah and Beth will share during the worship service and will host a community talk immediately following...
