Special Faith-Sponsored Workshops
To reflect America in our offerings, these workshops support communities of faith in progressing the mission of Braver Angels.
Faith-Sponsored Workshops (FSW) are Braver Angels workshops that include an additional opening and closing that is specific to the faith tradition, led by the faith organization that is hosting the workshop. Faith-Sponsored Workshops require the faith-organization’s host to be actively involved in planning and leading both the opening and closing activities, which can include a faith-based rationale, prayer, and/or other practices. The core Braver Angels workshop materials are unchanged.
Braver Angels plans to offer Faith-Sponsored Workshops for a variety of faith traditions in the near future. These workshops will bring depolarizing skills and experiences to your faith organizations. The first Faith-Sponsored Workshops are focused on the Christian faith.
