Event: The Practice of Relationship
(Part of the Sacred Practice Leadership Series)
Shalom Retreat Center (Dubuque, IA)
Just as prayer and Scripture call us into a more faithful relationship with God, they also call us into the practice of healthier relationships with one another. We learn to engage in “holy conversation” by building trust, respect, and an ability to truly listen to one another. In the midst of this conversation, we move from promoting our own agenda to being open to God’s vision for our life together.
