“The dissenting disciple refuses to join in the pitched battles over abortion, “family values,” and rights for those who are either straight or gay, recognizing that these battles are pernicious, exaggerated in rhetoric, and reductionistic in their simplified positions, and that they end in denying the humanity, worth, and preciousness of those viewed as the opponents. The dissenting disciple knows that there are legitimate concerns on both sides that must be listened to, respected, confronted, and honored."
