Safe Spaces of Understanding: 

Guidelines for our safe space meetings:

We start with prayer or inspiration and a moment of silence 

We come together as people of faith to learn from each other that we might better understand the multiplicity of faith traditions in our community and in our world. 

One person speaks at a time. We are present to each other with deep compassionate listening and loving acceptance. 

We are each free to express our spiritual beliefs, to offer prayer according to our traditions, and ideas from the perspectives of our traditions.

We are mindful of how our statements may affect each other. We make no assumptions and trust the learning, growing, communication process.
