Description
SUBTITLE: Developing a community of sustainable friendships
FORMAT: Book
PAGES: 48
SUMMARY: The faith-building conversations in Walking together were developed with cross-cultural groups in mind. This book will guide you on your journey of walking together – with each other and across boundaries. For when we reach out to each other across boundaries and care for one another, we learn to treat each other with respect and love. Only then the human dignity of our people will be restored.
Walking together offers to you as a cross group:
- 8 friendship-building opportunities
- suggestions for spiritual practices to develop together, such as celebration, Bible study, daily examination, hospitality, community, encouragement and caring
- suggestions for friendship activities to enjoy together such as eating, talking, socialising, reading, praying, living, traveling, going to movies, going to church, watching sport and watching TV.
Walking together will help you to develop a community of sustainable friendships and to live according to the values of the Season of Human Dignity – respect, listen, love and embrace.
