If we maintain the open-mindedness of children...

“If we maintain the open-mindedness of children, we challenge fixed ideas and established structures, including our own. We listen to people in other denominations and religions. We don't find demons in those with whom we disagree. We don't cozy up to people who mouth our jargon. If we are open, we rarely resort to either-or: either creation or evolution, liberty or law, sacred or secular, Beethoven or Madonna. We focus on both-and, fully aware that God's truth cannot be imprisoned in a small definition. ”
― Brennan Manning

We don't have to agree with everything we hear, nor should we, but we should be able to listen to the viewpoints of others without name calling or demonizing them. We should be able to entertain an idea and then accept it or discredit it based upon our own studies and beliefs, without malice.
