Another blog has joined the conflict resolution conversation and the World Directory of ADR Blogs.

The Storyteller and the Listener Online, edited by Holly Stevens of Oak Ridge, North Carolina, publishes two guest essays each month which explore, in its editor’s words, “the role of story and narrative in peacemaking, healing, bridge building and reconciliation processes in communities around the world.”

Readers are thoughtfully offered two versions: full graphics and text only. Archived essays may be found in the left sidebar of the full graphics edition.

I hope you’ll take time to listen to this creative and compelling new voice.

Remember, if you wish to add your blog or someone else’s to the World Directory of ADR Blogs, please let me know. It’s a completely commercial-free site, and there is no cost to be listed. The Directory has information on submitting your blog and submission guidelines.
