DESCRIPTION:Braver Angels: "Depolarizing Within" Workshop Saturday\, April 
 11\, 9:00am-12:00 Noon with Lunch following\, in the St. Matthew's CLC\nPa
 rticipants will develop strategies for engaging in politics without demoni
 zing the other side and constructively intervene in conversations with lik
 e-minded peers.\nHere's an EventBrite registration link. This will connect
  you with some of the resources for the workshop: https://www.eventbrite.c
 om/e/1985751540312?discount=BRAVER&amp\;aff=oddtdtcreator\nToo often commo
 n ground is lost when emotions and conflict cloud relationships. We could
  all use a little more humility and learn to listen better.  Jesus said\
 , "Love your enemies\," (Luke 6:27\, 35)\, and that means learning how to 
 listen to them…knowing what is within us that gets in the way.  \nThe 
 "Depolarizing Within" workshop is not "political" in the normal sense--it'
 s not about "blue or red" positions. Its purpose is for us to learn how w
 e ourselves can be polarizing\, in order to listen better and prevent othe
 rs from being polarizing.\nBraver Angels is a volunteer-led organization w
 hose stated purpose is to foster healthy\, civic dialogue.  If you have 
 any questions about this program\, please contact the church office: offic
 e@stmatthews-church.org\n
