A free workshop to help you become more aware of your “inner polarizer” and learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule<\/strong><\/div>\n

Faith-Sponsored Workshop Overview<\/h3>\n

For people of faith, civil discourse begins in recognizing the image of God in our conversation partner. Since we are all children of God, our approach should involve mutual respect. Respect, not agreement, is an essential key for a healthy discussion. This workshop addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in, or possibly even encourage, polarization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
