Crucial Conversations For Beloved Community
The Church of the Brethren denomination has encouraged congregations to use the BELOVED model for Christian conversations in order to facilitate discussion around experiences to help us identify and dismantle oppression and injustice. The group will study the teachings of Jesus and how they apply to our relationships with all people, as well as how those teachings call us to express solidarity, offer sanctuary from violence, identify, and dismantle racism and oppression in ourselves and our institutions. It is through these conversations that we hope to live out the teachings of Jesus and embody the way of Jesus in our neighborhood.
