Our Impact
Cricket Fuller, The Christian Science MonitorThis wasn’t a policy debate [about guns]. Instead, two people whose backgrounds and views diverged in almost every way possible shared a moment of honesty that struck at the heart of the matter.

Paul Schupe, Hancock United Church of ChristIt’s amazing how closely we can work together on certain projects and never know what about our faith motivates our work. This work deepened my appreciation for everyone who was there; hearing everyone's stories helped me to appreciate them more and the depth of their convictions, even when they’re convictions I don’t share.

A Guide to Conversations About the Role of Guns in American Life
This new free guide will help you gain a deeper understanding of different views, envision the proper role of guns in a given context, foster a sense of belonging, create the conditions for healing and support after a traumatic event—and it may lead directly to a collective decision, or lay the foundation for future decisions.
This resource is based on real conversations that have taken place among gun ownership and gun regulation advocates as well as people who don’t fit neatly into either of those labels.
