Deep, sustained listening is needed to bridge profound differences in cultural worldviews. Being able to know and speak one’s deepest truths enhances the possibilities for collaboration. A willingness to be transformed in unexpected ways is helpful, because this journey often awakens deep ethical and moral reflection, with all the consequences that this can entail.
