This is the second iteration of the workshop series, to be held in April/May after the Jan/Feb series reached capacity.

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.

Week 2 - 24th April

• Explore the role of the facilitator

• Look at options for leading prayer at the beginning of a session

• Think about small groups skills

• Consider some tricky situations which might arise
