The Synod process has emphasised the importance of listening and good conversations in our community life. However, these are not always so easy in practice! This workshop series will introduce the principles of holding prayerful, truthful and safe conversations which value gracious listening and courageous speaking. It is suitable for all levels of experience including people who have not been involved in the Synod process so far. You will be supported to hold your own ‘trial‘ conversation over the course of the sessions, and reflect back on your experience with the group. We will also hold a conversation in the Spirit each week.
