Braver Angels / Braver Faith: Common Ground Single Issue event - Winter 2027
This workshop brings together equal numbers of Conservatives and Liberals - Reds and Blues (4-8 of each) - for a deep dive into a topic. (This topic will be decided in December 2026). Together participants talk about their connection to the issue and their opinion on solutions. By the end of the event, they arrive at jointly and unanimously held Points of Agreements on values, concerns, and policies. Neutral observers may attend to watch the process. At the end of the session, those in the gallery are invited to offer insights, too. This event is one that lends itself to being prepared before attending, in order that the process moves smoothly. There may be outside reading about Braver Angels' methods that conveners ask participants to review, so that the conversations are respectful and constructive. There will be two moderators for this event. Questions? Contact the Rev. Katherine Harper (katherine@ssechurch.org) or Kathleen Franklin (kathleen@ssechurch.org) To learn more about Braver Angels, visit https://braverangels.org/.
