Clackamas County Braver Angels Monthly Meeting
10/19/2025 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
This month we are asking the question: How do I find the Truth?
Is Portland “War Ravaged”? Was James Madison a courageous writer of the American Constitution or a dark hearted slave owner? Are “the Pioneers” a school mascot to proud of-or discard-to honor our past?
In these times it can be a challenge to seek out and find the truth about important issues. Polarization makes this more difficult, particularly if we are calling each other names. For example, Bill says Portland is dangerous after he was threatened by someone on the street. Alice says she is downtown all the time and never worries. Is personal experience the criteria for truth? Is opinion fact? Is one of them lying? Is ‘truth’ more complex than this? Will recognizing my own bias make finding the truth easier? Is the truth necessary or is agreement on forward movement more important?
Come join us. Let’s talk about these hard questions. It’s free.
