The idea for the website stemmed from&#160;the &#8220;Red Blue Dialogue brainstorming session&#8221; at the 2012 NCDD conference in Seattle, where Joan Blades, Amanda Roman and Jacob Hess decided to further develop the idea.&#160;Living Room Conversations, in early 2016, continued [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/rc/item/11634">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The manual gives a holistic framework&#160;to address historical injustices, in a way that engages all participants, and identifies the aftermath and legacies of [generational] trauma. This manual was developed by Coming to the Table and has been a collective effort of Eastern Mennonite University&#8217;s (EMU)&#160;Center for Justice &#38; Peacebuilding (CJP) and&#160;their Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR) program.

In the article, Parsa discusses the need to not be a neutral party within this society because it furthers the injustices of this world. Instead she offers the alternative of multi-partiality, to not remain neutral and both hold one&#8217;s own opinion while also being able to hold alternatives perspectives, even if they differ dramatically.
