To honor the life and ministry of Dr. Martin Luther King, Two Rivers Church is invited to be a part of an important weekend of worship and learning at Bethel Wesley United Methodist Church (1201 13th Street, Moline). On Saturday, January 18, there will be another Braver Angels workshop. This workshop is called “Politics and the Family.”
The “Family and Politics” workshop will be on Saturday from 9:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Family relationships are becoming casualties of our toxic political environment. Family members are having nasty political arguments, avoiding each other, or even cutting off lifetime relationships. If you want to preserve important family bonds while still being true to your values and political beliefs, this workshop will offer 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 friend, colleague, or loved 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.
