"Still, it matters that it was resolved in this way, through a friendly conversation among mutually respected neighbors who shared some core convictions while also diverging on fundamental life questions."

Maybe so! He certainly understood how it felt to be embattled.

And I think the Cadburys also showed good character here!

It seems as though Newman called out the best in the Cadburys - beautiful story!

Thanks for sharing!
