DEPOLARIZING OURSELVES: A Means to Encounter God's Grace

The newly formed Greater Good Group of WUMC invites you to take part in this   workshop led by the local chapter of Braver Angels.

For people of faith, civil discourse begins in recognizing the image of God in our conversation partner. Since we are all children of God, our approach should involve mutual respect. Respect, not agreement, is an essential key for a healthy discussion. This workshop addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in, or possibly even encourage, polarization.

Participants will learn:

• How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer.”

• How to interact without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping large swaths of the population.

We'll begin with a simple lunch right after 11:00am worship with the actual workshop beginning at 12:30pm. YOU MUST REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE!
