The Dignity Index 101
October 30 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Dignity Index 101 is a 3-session program which will provide a forum where participants take an in-depth look at how to be part of building a culture of dignity in our lives, our community, and the political arena.
Over the summer, we offered an introductory program on the Dignity Index. Parishioners who attended were very enthusiastic not only to put the concept into practice but also to learn even more ways to move from contempt to dignity in all of our communications.
Have YOU experienced first-hand or witnessed within our culture, the use of language which divides us one from another? Perhaps within your school, workplace, community, or even our own country, you’ve seen up close the divisions created when people are treated harshly, sometimes with contempt.
One attempt to reverse this negative impact upon our lives involves adopting “The Dignity Index.” Placing DIGNITY at the heart of our conversations, in-person or on social media, can be a choice to build back our humanity.
Together let’s make this CHOICE away from judgment and dehumanizing language.
Let us respond to the CALL to a different way… one which affirms the humanity of all.
Facilitator: Elaine Wiatr
