There are many ways to do the work of connecting with people who hold beliefs that differ from our own without losing sight of truth, love, and justice, says Marrow author and Omega cofounder Elizabeth Lesser.

Elizabeth's comment came during an Omega panel discussion with author and activist Glennon Doyle and FIFA Women’s World Cup Champion Abby Wambach.

The conversation was a highlight of Glennon and Abby’s weekend retreat for hundreds of women who gathered to envision new relationships with their lives, communities, and the world.

Excerpted here exclusively for Omega members, the talk is peppered with stories of past experiences and on-going challenges that build on the work of uncovering false assumptions, merging spiritual growth with activism, and leading with love.
