The Barnegat Friends Meeting (Quakers) is partnering with the organization Braver Angels to promote the idea that our love for our country is shown by our concern for our fellow citizens.

Barbara Reynolds, a meeting member, said the Braver Angels approach is guided by its pledge: “As individuals, we try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it. In our communities, we engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.
