Tolerance Means Dialogue: What can we learn about bridging divides? 

At a time of great division, many see friction and no solutions. For example, clashes arise between gay individuals and bakers or website makers who refuse services for same-sex marriages. These clashes are testing the limits of the right to be served equally by commercial establishments and vendors’ freedom to follow their conscience in commerce. We seek insights from individuals with diverse experiences about living together harmoniously with our differences.
