How to bridge our political divide? A pastor's answer: Do unto others; NPR, November 19, 2024

Pastor Chris knows it's challenging to lead a big-tent church in such fraught times. He says the Do Unto Others program isn't about calling out sides or making statements about anyone's morality.

"Outside of the pulpit. I personally will stand up for what I think is right and what I think is wrong, and I have done those things," Morgan says. "My job as a pastor when I am preaching is to help people grow in their faith and become as much like Jesus as we can."

Morgan says a key to the campaign for kindness is to recognize we can't control what others say or do, but we can control how we respond."
