Skills for Disagreeing Better, a Braver Angels Conversation

Our country is more divided than ever, with too many of us isolated from those who hold different views. This division damages our communities, disrupts our families, and stops us from working together for the common good. For people of faith, civil discourse often begins in recognizing the image of God and/or the inherent dignity in our conversation partner. As a result, our approach should involve mutual respect. Respect, not agreement, is an essential key for a healthy discussion.

We will be hosting three workshops on Thursday evenings in September and October.

Session 1: Skills for Disagreeing Better, September 3 from 6-7:30pm

Session 2: Depolarizing Within, September 17 from 6-8:30pm

Session 3: Families and Politics, October 1 from 6-8:30pm

Each session is a stand alone teaching. You can attend one or two or the whole series.

Skills for Disagreeing Better

This Braver Angels workshop teaches skills for having respectful conversations that clarify differences, search for common ground, and affirm the importance of the relationship. It also gives participants a safe environment to practice these skills.
