Whither Dialogue After the Capitol Riot?

My love letter to my country in the form of a brief essay: "Whither Dialogue After the Capitol Riot?" has just been posted on Emory University's Center for the Study of Law & Religion Canopy Forum.  It includes a few practical ideas for building a conversational bridge in the midst of the currently intense political polarization.  Suggestions include focusing our efforts on "listening to understanding", and cultivating a relationship of trust with a "buddy" who can help us to hear how we might sound in the ears of someone on the "other side."
