Sojourners seeking to raise the level of religious conversation

In Sojourners: Faith, Politics, Culture there is "A Covenant for Civility" circulating, which seeks to solicit "…a pledge by church leaders from diverse theological and political beliefs who have come together to make a covenant with each other to model civility in the public square."

Among the seven elements of the covenant there is: "We will ever be mindful of the language we use in expressing our disagreements, being neither arrogant nor boastful in our beliefs."
