Through reflections on her own experiences as a social advocate and radio-talk-show host, Rice explores what personal integrity in “getting along” might look like. Taking us beyond merely getting through life and putting up with one another, the essay explores the real-life contours of accepting one another’s differences, agreeing to disagree, and respecting each other’s right to be wrong. Rice argues for both the livability and urgency of the Christian calling to not be hostile toward opponents, but to be counter-cultural, through humility, sacrifice, and understanding.
