What is it?

This course focuses on three habits: Be Curious; Be Present; and Reimagine. In the sessions it does this by reflecting on biblical stories, a recent story and creating space to include how our own story and experiences shape our thinking. These habits can have an impact on our everyday lives & relationships and affect how we relate to people and the life of the communities that we’re part off.
The content of the sessions is non-issue based because the skills and practices within it are relevant for any difference. It is brilliant in itself, but can also be a good stepping stone to get you thinking about particular differences your faced with in your context. The habits framework set foundations for introducing ways of navigating them, embedding them before engaging directly on a specific issue.

The following themes will be explored:

  1. 1. God’s call – God can transform relationships in a conflicted world. God’s call and equipping make that possible.
  2. 2. Crossing divides – God invites us to see where difference or prejudice divides us from others and offers us opportunities to see them as he does.
  3. 3. Navigating disagreement – God is with us as we face the challenge of disagreement, which can become an opportunity for stronger relationships.
  4. 4. Practicing forgiveness – God is with us in the mess and complexity of trying to put forgiveness into practice in our relationships.
  5. 5. Risking hope – Doing relationships God’s way will sometimes be risky and resisted, but the hope it brings is transformative.

This session will be led by Anna Naish.
