Meet Us
In an editorial in The Christian Science Monitor, Mark Sappenfield talks about
what he calls “horse sense.” He refers to a book called Shy Boy: the Horse that
Came in from the Wild, written by Monty Roberts. Sappenfield writes,
Author Monty Roberts has spent his life trying to convince anyone
who will listen that the old way of training horses -- coercion and
fear -- is cruel and ineffective. His book shows how he taught a wild
horse to take a saddle and rider in a few days solely by understanding
its view of the world and working with it…. Roberts's most difficult horse,
which had suffered catastrophic trauma from previous handlers, nearly
killed him. But he never had a thought of giving up, though it took him
80 days to "gentle" the horse…. Only by not resorting to violence can
you develop a relationship built on trust and respect. Then a horse
becomes a “willing partner instead of your unwilling subject.”
Sappenfield thinks we can learn a lot about human interactions from Roberts’s horse-breaking
methods. Sadly, we try to “train” or “break” each other with the old-school methods of coercion
and fear. He sees Gandhi and King as pointing out a better way to the “blessed community” –
patient listening and non-violent engagement. The better way is the way Roberts breaks horses –
“by understanding its view of the world and working with it.”
In our polarized world, where coercion and fear
seem to reign supreme in the media and in the
streets, the church has the opportunity to offer a
different model. We can show the world how
people who disagree can still listen to each other. SUNDAY WORSHIP
We can show how unity and diversity can coexist. MAY 2, 2021 MAY 2, 2021
