In "A Diversity of Truths," local Clarksville author Susan Steen explores the vastness of human experience and how we can be more compassionate listeners. Practicing Our Faith Exercise: In the week ahead, make it a goal to engage in at least one meaningful conversation, even if just 10 minutes, with someone who holds a different perspective than you do on a topic of shared interest. Approach the conversation with an open heart and mind, making your goal to understand rather than be understood.
