Christian tact
"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Romans 12:18
Christian tact is wise and loving thoughtfulness. It is that charity which is wisely gentle to all, which bears all things, which seeks not her own, which thinks no evil. It has an instinctive desire to avoid giving pain. It seeks to please all men for their good.
It knows very well, that the surest way alienate others, is to antagonize them and excite their opposition and enmity. Therefore, as far as possible, it avoids all direct attack upon the life and opinions of others. It shows respect for the views of those who differ in sentiment or belief.
