Pithy Quote about Ron Mock, professor emeritus at George Fox University.
In recent years, Newberg, like the rest of the country, has witnessed many instances of incivility. Mock listed the recent school board controversies and the fraught 2017 schism at local Quaker churches as examples.
To Mock, disagreements are "resources" and "gifts" that can help communities grow and succeed. When people are not able to deal with disagreements "creatively and effectively," communities suffer, Mock said.
"We're not making decisions that are optimal," he said. "We're making poor decisions because we're not working together."
Detours to Planet RantWoman:
--There is a really great link exhorting readers to support the Pamplin Media Group and local journalism
--There is a LOT of advertising CRAP the screen reader will find first unless reader start with headings.
