Learning to Find Common Ground

(President Obama speaking today at Notre Dame University once again called for civility and respectful discourse.)

I didn't go to church today, but President Obama's remarks at Notre Dame should make all of us, religious or non-religious, think about how we can have a civil discourse while at the same time respecting one another. Powerful words!

"For if there is one law that we can be most certain of, it is the law that binds people of all faiths and no faith together. It is no coincidence that it exists in Christianity and Judaism; in Islam and Hinduism; in Buddhism and humanism. It is, of course, the Golden Rule - the call to treat one another as we wish to be treated. The call to love. To serve. To do what we can to make a difference in the lives of those with whom we share the same brief moment on this Earth." -- President Barack Obama
