Every other week we will be hosting a nationwide Meetup.com event called “The Sacred Humanists on Zoom.” This gathering is for those who need a community to help them work through the process of spiritual deconstruction and reconstruction. However, this is not a prayer meeting, Bible study, worship service, book club, or the like. It’s just a group of people getting together to listen and share about what’s going on in their spiritual journeys. There will be no material to read beforehand nor a designated topic for discussion. The only structure will be a designated moderator who loosely guides the discussion, creates space for everyone to contribute, and ensures everyone follows the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. guidelines below:
R = take RESPONSIBILITY for what you think, feel, and say without blaming others
E = use EMPATHETIC listening to understand where others are coming from
S = be SENSITIVE to differences in personality, communication styles, and belief systems
P = PONDER what you hear from others rather than rushing to respond
E = carefully EXAMINE your own assumptions, perceptions, and biases
C = keep CONFIDENTIALITY, especially when people share personal matters in their lives
T = TRUST one another to have a good faith discussion instead of a combative debate
More details coming in the weeks ahead.
