By Joshua Chestnut

Mr. Rogers often spoke about what he saw as the three ways humans can find success in life: 'The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind." While kindness may sound weak and sappy to our ears, Rogers is tapping into some deep Christian wisdom about the shape of a life modeled after Jesus which is both demanding to follow and a means for healing a deeply unkind world. This lecture will consider how kindness might be a way through culture's polarizing tendencies towards either an oppressive sense of order on the one hand, or a decadently destructive sense of personal autonomy on the other.
