SUMMARY:Breaking the Toxic Polarization Cycle: Strategies for Being an In-Group Moderate
DESCRIPTION:Attend onsite or online \nSuggested donation: $15 \nJoin us for an interactive session exploring the vital role of faith leaders as in-group moderates. It’s not just about finding the courage to speak up against behaviors that contradict core values and religious beliefs within our own groups; it’s about recognizing how being an in-group moderate is integral to our role as faith leaders in breaking the cycle of toxic polarization. Through exercises\, text analysis\, and discussions\, you’ll gain practical strategies for overcoming obstacles\, navigating challenges and fears\, and building support networks. \nKevin McIntosh is the Faith Over Division Senior Manager for the One America Movement. He earned his B.A. in Religious Studies and History from Emory University and his Master’s of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. Prior to joining the One America Movement\, Kevin served as the coordinator of Campus Interfaith Resources at Grand Valley State University. In his free time\, Kevin enjoys watching the Tampa Bay Rays\, struggling with crosswords\, and going for runs. \nRegister
