WORDS MATTER: A CIVILITY CAFE
Is Civility Dead?
Community, Religion, and the Virtues of a Healthy Democracy - These days a lot of people are lamenting the death of civility in American politics. But some social critics argue that civility is overrated at best and dangerous at worst, because standards of political decorum stifle political protest just when it is needed most. In this talk, James Calvin Davis will consider what the concept of civility really means, why we need it, and where we should look for it if we are going to bring health to our democracy.

Monday, 10/29 from 7-9PM at Charlotte Congregational Church (403 Church Hill Rd).
Dessert, presentation and conversation with Middlebury College Professor James Calvin Davis.
