A key challenge today — in church and in society — is to reduce the noise, and learn afresh how to listen and converse well.
This in-person workshop, designed with church congregations in mind, builds on the way restorative justice resonates strongly with biblical values.
It will be an opportunity for those in leadership and active in church life to develop restorative conversation skills, enabling members to be honest, listen deeply, and speak freely without fear. A time of learning to reach good outcomes, if not agreement, rather than foster grievance.
The 26-27th of November marks the end of national Restorative Justice week 2022 (#RJWeek). New Road Baptist Church in partnership with The Mint House will co-host these two events, facilitated by special guests, Tom and Shona Shaw who work and minister in Leeds.
