Thank You!Voices were heard. Voices were found. We've made a step but there is much more work to do, and we cannot do it without you. So ask yourself... what's next? How can I act? What do I need to learn? What do I need to learn to notice? How can I stand up and use my voice and body for the sake of those in need?

Courageous Conversations Guidelines:
Conversations that seek the truth and understanding are necessary for individual and collective growth. As Christian Public Leaders, we are committed to engaging in conversations that serve to unite people in heart and in spirit with the core belief that we are, in fact, better together.
As we enter into Courageous Conversations, let us remember that Jesus “himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.” (Ephesians 2:14 ESV). The following guidelines are constructed to create room for open, thoughtful, and respectful dialogue.
As we enter into Courageous Conversations, let us remember that Jesus “himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.” (Ephesians 2:14 ESV). The following guidelines are constructed to create room for open, thoughtful, and respectful dialogue.
- Invite the Holy Spirit in the midst of courageous conversations by starting - and ending - with prayer.
- Respect each other and respect the process.
- Avoid assumptions and assume good intent from every group member.
- Pledge to learn, not to persuade or debate.
- You can only tell YOUR story. Speak YOUR truth, using “I” statements.
- Listen to understand, not to reply.
- Be open to a change of heart and a change of mind.
