Constructive Conversations: Immigration

Following up on July's workshop on how to have constructive conversations about challenging topics, Faith Lutheran is launching a series of monthly conversations using a tool developed by the Berkeley Rotary Club. Each month we will select a single topic to discuss and then break into groups of three. Within each group, one person shares their views on the topic for 2 minutes, one person reflects back that person's views for 1 minute, and one person keeps time. Then the roles rotate until all three people have done each role. In this series, we will have people participate in multiple groups so that we can hear more varied perspectives. Between groups, you'll be asked to write what commonalities you heard from the group and what differences. At the end, we'll ask what common ground we can act on. Based on the responses for our first workshop, the topic for August 17th will be immigration. The workshop will take place after worship in the fellowship hall. The topic in September will be camping in public spaces.
