The newly formed Heritage Alliance is bringing Braver Angels’ efforts to promote respectful political conversations and bridge political differences to Adams, Franklin and Fulton counties. On The Spark, we’ll talk with Heritage Alliance co-chairs Mark Bowyer and Charles Bittner about why they became involved with Braver Angels and how they hope to help communities become more united through mutual respect, humility and constructive dialogue.

Bittner, a psychologist, says his professional work has incorporated basic Braver Angels guidelines for decades, while Bowyer, a pastor, brings a focus on reconciliation. We’ll discuss what makes civil conversations difficult, whether political divisions are getting worse, and what the “Braver Angels Way” looks like in practice. The conversation will also include ways people can get involved with the new three-county alliance and upcoming workshops and events.
