This morning I'm in conversation with Pastor Rob Fuquay at St. Luke's UMC in Indianapolis. They ordered 300 copies of a custom edition of The Soul of Civility to read together. A question for your week: who has become a position to you, rather than a person?

After speaking alongside Joanna Taft, who first taught me about porching, I hosted about 100 people across politics, geography, and vocation. You can start smaller: three neighbors, one chapter, one evening. My free Porching Challenge toolkit has everything you need. Link below.

The anniversary paperback of The Soul of Civility is out today, with a free toolkit to help you gather neighbors across difference and read it together. Civility is not politeness. Agreement is not the goal. Flourishing across difference is.

DeLaney, Bill, Forestal and Albright split on data centers, vouchers and health care at two Indy candidate forums this week, and nobody yelled. My column: voters should demand boring. h/t @lexiohudson indypolitics.org/in-praise-o…

"The opposite of wonder is not boredom. It’s cynicism. And cynicism is not intellectual sophistication—it’s spiritual fatigue. It’s the feeling of being certain, so certain that nothing can surprise you anymore" @LexiOHudson @susancainā¤ļø thequietlife.net/p/the-wonde…

Joy to keynote at the @ICMA conference in Philadelphia for America’s 250th. I shared the stories of William Penn and Edward Coles—men who broke false peace for human dignity. Agreement isn’t the goal. Flourishing across difference is. Let’s build a civic renaissance!
