"There is no small act of kindness. Every compassionate act makes large the world." --Mary Anne Radmacher

Caught in Political Divide, Church Runs Kindness Campaign

Pastor Adam Hamilton was considering giving up being a pastor after years of refereeing debates at his church about polarizing issues of our times. Instead, he decided to begin a Campaign for Kindness. It has billboards, yard signs, and TV spots like a political campaign, but they advertise ethics. “We're trying to blanket Kansas City in love, compassion, understanding and just calm down, you know?” Hundreds of churches across the country are following his lead. Pastor Hamilton urges his congregation to do kind acts every day, “especially for people they disagree with.” “Choosing kindness isn't about avoiding our differences but navigating them with respect and compassion.”
