Braver Faith - Braver Angels

Braver Faith

Connecting people of faith so that our communities may flourish.

Braver Angels is a civic organization that develops educational tools to build bridges between people divided over politics. We also partner with religious groups who use our tools in the context of their own religious traditions. 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.

Workshops

Looking to sponsor a faith-oriented workshop?

Depolarizing Ourselves

Participants explore why we, as individuals, are polarized and how to address it for two faith traditions: Christian (Catholic and Protestant) and Jewish.

*More faith traditions are in development

*Any Braver Angels member can volunteer to facilitate this workshop after self-training

Faith-Sponsored

Faith organizations hosting a standard BA workshop lead an opening/closing activity specific to the tradition (faith-based rationale, prayer, or other practices).

*Requires a trained Braver Angels moderator
