Tackling the underlying threat to democracy

With Mark Sappenfield

There are signs of deep political divisions around the world . Many have polarized into camps in which each side is convinced it is right and is unwilling to listen to the other. What's the remedy? This week's guest is Mark Sappenfield , Editor of The Christian Science Monitor, and he's been thinking and praying a lot about this. He shares what he feels is one of the key underlying issues in this divide and how we might pray about it.
