Our present political climate has glaringly shown us that one person’s truth may very well be a dramatic falsehood to someone else. Yet each person believes deeply in their truth…or do they? Our truths are no longer black-and-white but frustratingly grey. What role does misinformation and disinformation have to do with the truth? How did we stray so far from the truth, from fact, reason, and logic? After all, a truth is a truth…or is it?

Without focusing on the present political scene, Ellen and Steve will challenge us with a definition of truth and how we are affected by truth in everyday life, in our interactions with loved ones, extended family and friends, in business, politics, and law.

What are the different kinds of truths, including absolute truth, personal truth, religious/spiritual truth, legal truth? What can we learn about telling the truth? When are lies unacceptable? When does a white lie become a real lie?

Explore ways of finding a common truth between two people with differing views. Join us in robust discussions as we agree, disagree, or agree to disagree, while discovering that the color of truth is grey.

This course will consist of discussions between the Study Leaders and participants.
