Building Bridges Across Political Divides
At the club meeting on Friday Maureen Wahhab, an Ambassador for Braver Angels, presented… applying the Rotary 4-Way Test in preparing all to be Peace Ambassadors.
The Rotary 4-Way Test … of the things we say, or do:
- Is it the Truth?
- Is it Fair to all concerned?
- Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
- Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
Braver Angels is a non-profit organization dedicated to depolarizing American politics and fostering civil dialogue between people with differing viewpoints. Founded in 2016, the group organizes workshops, debates, and community events that bring together individuals from across the political spectrum to encourage mutual understanding and respectful conversation. Their mission is to help Americans move beyond partisan hostility and find common ground, strengthening democracy and civic engagement in the process.
Rules of Engagement… “Seek first to understand, then to be understood. As individuals, try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it.”
“Engage with those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.”
Maureen, thank you for sharing the mission, vision and skill engaging opportunities provided by the Braver Angels organization. www.braverangels.org.
