Editor's Notes
- Why the listeners are stakeholdersDaily Word for Mon May 20,2013No one wants to begin ANY dialogue feeling accused or ashamed200 million dollar industry (diversity and inclusion)
- Religious tolerance addresses only half of the issues : schisms within denominations, cultural divides, gender perspectivesAlthough certain global issues such as colonialism and various ism’s are connected to religion there are many ways that the divide is broader
- Over 2000 years ago there was this idea that a connection to something greater than ourselves (God, spirituality…love) could create authentic community
- In Dec 2012 OMO House Facebook page was launched as a progressive multifaith conversation.
- Or all could be….right (for those that embraced it). But the judgments coming from religious groups on issues of marriage equality, race, abortion, LGBT concerns, AIDS, poverty made me think the issue was much bigger.
- But with more and more violence affecting innocent people (majorette 15 year old Hadiya Pendleton murdered Jan 30, 2013) made me question why people were willing to die over a social construction.
- Brene Brown says all true transformation requires vulnerability. It is not an option.If you don’t allow yourself to feel….especially emotions like shame. You cut yourself off from feeling EVERYTHING.
- But a re-definition of these terms. At OMO House our belief is that these words are crucial and mean more than we've coined them to be.All of these concepts have been minimized and manipulated to be catch phrases…to be slogans and means of pretending to do better…but no real substance.Companies spend $2,000-5,000 per day for two trainers (boston.com)More than cultural awarenessMore than cultural sensitivityMore than gender and sexual awarenessMore than respectful communication…..I could go one.But more than anything…..being HIRD is about participating in emotional intelligence and reeducation by way of a dialogue that vulnerable and intimate and inclusive and empowering….without making anyone wrong for our past choices or actions.
