Braver Angels Workshop

Saturday, 18 January 2025 – 9:00-11:30 am – Bethel Wesley UMC (Activity Center)

 Co-sponsored by the Quad-Cities United Methodist Pastors’ Coalition, this workshop offers you:

  • Insight into why family differences over politics are uniquely challenging.
  • Recognition of common roles that family members play in political conversations; for example, the Gladiator, the Defender, and the Sniper.
  • Strategies and skills for handling family political differences in a constructive way.

Although the focus is on family relationships, you can use learnings in this workshop with any loed one. You’ll laugh and have some fun in this workshop – it won’t be all serious. After all, we all come from quirky families!
