Dear Leaders,
This guide is designed for use by small groups of self-directed young adults to explore the connection between faith and justice. Ultimately, this resource can and will be adapted to fit your own group needs and leadership styles, but here are some notes on what the authors had in mind while designing it.
Notes on Leadership:
- Ideal group size is between 5-8 members.
- The guide is intended to be used by self-directed groups. Different members of the group can take turns leading a session.
- Session leaders should prepare ahead of time by reading through the guide (especially their session), and paying special attention to any materials or set-up that needs to be done in advance. Preparation Notes at the beginning of each session are designed to help.
- Handouts are designed to be distributed during the relevant session, but it might be helpful to provide (or encourage participants to bring) binders or duo tangs to keep everything together.
- Include singing in your session – it can contribute greatly in creating sacred space and building community
- Journalling is included in many of the sessions. Consider playing music and/or lighting candles during this time to create an intimate space.
