In the United States, we’ve stopped listening to one another—truly, deeply listening to the words coming from those we don’t agree with, or those who are different from us, says Episcopal priest Stephanie Spellers.

Stephanie Spellers is an Episcopal priest and author who is known for fueling "radical welcome" in churches across the US.
