-
- Philosophy
In the second part of A Woman's Journey, Julie Oomen and your host Jake Chacko unpack the value of empathy which is prominent on the Oomen Family Wall of Values. The pair use their understanding of empathy in real time to discuss the recent United States Supreme Court Decision on Dobbs which upended the 50 year old precedent set by Roe V Wade. A controversial decision with strong feelings on both sides, both Julie and Jake process their individual feelings. Additionally, Julie describes how she intends to use the power of empathy to discuss this decision during an upcoming trip back to Missouri to visit her folks. They are on the other side of this issue from Julie!
Yet there is hope to having a real, loving dialogue even though there is disagreement- the essence of what the Oak Guild Institute is trying to promote.
Kate Whitehead challenges the listeners to think deeply about both empathy and the abortion issue at the conclusion of the conversation.
There is a fascinating postscript on empathy, something we all assume is "good" , at the end of Kate's concluding commentary!
Pictures of the Oomens and their Family Wall of Values will be available soon on the website www.OakGuild.org.
