Critics and builders. Critic: a personal journey
Builder, creating interfaith America
Jen Bailey, critic and builder
The good society. America, the people's potluck
The Obama story, the Trump story
The genius of religious institutions
Considerations and cautions. The challenge of being in charge
Align the substantive and the symbolic
Be guided by a vision for, not an anger against
Embrace diversity, including the differences you don't like
Embrace the multiple languages of social change
Be careful turning identity categories into ideological categories
Seek solutions, then seek scale
Consider constructive engagement before you cancel
Stand on the balcony and think of a hedgehog
Appreciate the history of your movement, then extend it
Be cautious about becoming a symbol
Be cautious about making generalizations and speaking for others
Be cautious of the single story
Be cautious about the false social map
Be cautious when accusing others
Conclusion: A letter to my sons, future builders of diverse democracy.
