In times of polarization, it can be hard to know the truth about controversial issues – even when we live a short drive from a center of visible controversy.
At 7 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday), George Fox students, employees, and Newberg and Dundee community members will gather in Canyon Commons to discuss unrest in major American cities and the deployment of National Guard units there.
Participants will sit at tables with a few others – some of whom they may not know – and will be asked to listen closely enough to summarize another person’s views before sharing their own. The emphasis will be on listening and discovering areas of common ground.
Community Conversations is co-sponsored by Newberg/Dundee United as Neighbors and the George Fox University Civility Project. Everyone is invited to join the conversation. For more information, contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.

George Fox is dedicated to supporting and honoring the men and women who have served our country. Our community is rich with military experience, including over 125 student veterans, seven veteran faculty members, and over 100 students whose families have sacrificed greatly.
Our veterans represent all branches, ranging in background from a retired U.S. Army colonel to a U.S. Marine Corps lance corporal. We recognize the heavy, real-life costs of their commitment – the missed life events, the physical and mental burdens and the strain on families and marriages. These stories are deeply personal.
In the spirit of our Be Known promise, we encourage everyone to approach our veterans today (Veterans Day) with an attitude of humility and trust. Avoid assumptions about their experiences. Instead, ask respectful questions and be known as someone who recognizes and values the sacrifice they and their loved ones have made.
