DIFFICULT TOPICS
AUTHENTIC CONVERSATIONS
How to turn conflict into community.
Starting Sunday, September 8th
9:45 a.m. (between services)
Witherspoon Hall, Rooms 12/13
Facilitators: John Tittle, Will Price and Cheryl Wood
The “Dialogues On” series encourages honest talk about difficult topics. In a time when so many conversations end in conflict, our class will equip participants to share their ideas, listen well, learn from other viewpoints, and seek to bring hope and healing from the church to the world.
Come to any or all of the classes in this series. Lesson books will be available for $10.00. With or without a lesson book, you are welcome to join us as we learn and grow together on one of the most challenging topics today—the refugee crisis.
Our hope for this class is to express and listen to thoughts and ideas about today’s issues. So whether we’re traditional or progressive or somewhere in between, we’re all believers and we have a responsibility to understand how our faith informs our perspectives and lives.
Refugees in America is a tough topic, both at a local community level and from a national policy perspective.
Dialogues On: The Refugee Crisis offers these unique perspectives from experienced authors from renowned organizations such as World Relief and Church World Service that provide insight into refugee stories and experiences. Chapters include:
MISUNDERSTANDINGS
Misunderstandings occur when people have genuine misconceptions about what is said or implied.
DIFFERENCES IN VALUES AND BELIEFS
Values and beliefs can cause disagreement over how the world should be run.
DIFFERENCES IN INTEREST
Differences in interest lead to competition over scarce goods and resources.
INTERPERSONAL DIFFERENCES
Personality, temperament and style can cause a personality clash.
FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS
Strong aroused emotion often leads to another situation.
