“Open-minded” does not exist.
Everyone is “closed-minded” to something.
“Broadminded,” however, means one entertains others and their ideas.
We may disagree with each other but being hospitable, means we listen.
Watch how we welcome people and their beliefs, without giving up our own (full text below).
We should be hospitable to all, caring about them and why they believe what they do.

FULL TEXT:
Often when people say someone is “closed-minded” they mean “You don’t agree with me.” The same folks don’t see they may be the ones “closed” to the ideas others may hold.
Being broad-minded as a Christian means I listen to others, showing a hospitality of ideas. The distinctiveness of the Bible’s message begins with “holy,” meaning set apart or other than. The First Testament is very clear that Yahweh is distinctive from all other gods. When the prophets say “There is no other God” they mean other “gods” exist; but comparatively, there is no comparison. As Moses summarized in Deuteronomy 32:31, “Their rock is not like our Rock”.
Our responsibility as Christians is to be generous, welcoming of people with perspectives other than our own: and when given the opportunity, to explain the unique nature of Jesus’ gospel message in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me”.
As a Christian thinker, I am broad-minded, listening to others, secure in my answers for certain questions about the origins, ends, and ethics of life. If we can understand that all of us are in some way “closed” in our thinking, but “open” to people, no matter their beliefs, we might be better able to understand and respect others even while we hold to our own philosophies.
At the Comenius Institute we are secure in our core beliefs. We are secure in the fact that The Eternal, Personal, Triune God exists. We are secure in the fact that the natural world came about by a supernatural process. We are secure in the fact that God Providentially sustains His world.
But we are very “open” to the opportunities of broadmindedness, displaying a hospitality of ideas.
For Truth in Two, this is Dr. Mark Eckel, President of the Comenius Institute, personally seeking truth wherever it’s found.
