"Spearheading one of a growing number of attempts among evangelicals to empower clergy and laypeople to reframe the political divide, the creators of “The After Party” hope to foster conversations that will not only promote healing but enable those engaged to participate in public life in ways that are constructive, rather than chronically divisive."

I'm not usually a morning person, but last week Democracy Notes hosted a breakfast salon with some of my favorite democracy folks in Chicago.

(How intriguing is that?) Today, Curtis shared some of his insights in Democracy Notes — link in the comments!
