LDS Action Team | When Reason Fails to Persuade
with Dr. Jeffrey Thayne
We often see discourse as taking place on a rational level — attempts to persuade rebuffed by counter arguments — and we then become baffled when compelling arguments, evidence, logic, and reason fail to persuade otherwise reasonable people. This is because we are not always aware of the non-rational factors at play beneath the surface: the intuitions and sentiments that shape how persuasive arguments seem to us. In matters of politics, policy, and tribe, the surface-level discourse obscures this layer of non-rational factors and keeps us from addressing the real barriers to lasting persuasion.
How the Church Cares for the Earth
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is accelerating global efforts to care for the earth, following the divine guidance from the First Presidency to be wise stewards. “This is a topic, caring for the earth, that we have worked on for a long time. And so that’s not new, but there’s a new emphasis,” said Presiding Bishop Gérald Caussé. Bishop Caussé said the Church hopes to “inspire members of the Church and all community members to use the resources of the earth with great care and prudence.” A new landing page with information on the Church’s efforts to care for the earth is also now available. This site provides an overview and additional references to the Church’s related teachings and operational initiatives, and other ideas such as how individuals and communities can be involved.
