Equip yourself for more constructive political conversations using Make Me an Instrument of Peace: A Guide to Civil Discourse. Help bridge partisan divides, learn from others, and enlarge the sacred space for debate.

Brought to you by the Office of Government Relations and Department of Faith Formation, in partnership with ChurchNext, this interactive, five-part curriculum offers hope that by using the tool of civil discourse, we can find new ways to love our neighbor.

Four ways to engage:

  1. Take the interactive course complete with videos and discussion boards on your own: Make Me an Instrument For Individuals
  2. Take the interactive course as a group–the same material, but set up for facilitators to engage with a group. Make Me an Instrument For Groups
  3. While the full curriculum experience is available on ChurchNext’s website in the previous links, with discussion forums, quizzes and supplemental material, you can access just the videos here.
  4. Download the original PDF to use in your congregation or ministry. Each session includes specific instructions for group or forum leaders, and interactive components including prayers, discussion questions, and activities aimed at utilizing group settings for entering into deeper reflection on the primary themes.

The ChurchNext versions of the course is offered free of charge for the first 2,000 students and available on-demand.
