A gospel-centered conversation on unity across difference, calling the Church to faithful presence and shared witness for the common good.

Common Ground for the Common Good is a conversation for the Church in a divided world. Hosted by RCLI in partnership with Difficult Conversations: Stronger Communities, and featuring David Bailey (Arrabon), Vernon Gordon (The Life Church) and Shanita Mickie (Young Life). This gathering invites Christian leaders and community members to wrestle honestly with what it means to pursue unity in Christ across real differences of culture, politics, race, and experience. Through vulnerability, testimony, and thoughtful dialogue, we will explore what faithful presence looks like in a pluralistic, fractured society, and how the Church can bear public witness to the gospel by prioritizing our shared identity in Christ for the sake of the common good.
