Guidelines for talking with one another � � � � Use “I” statements. Speak personally about your experiences and be specific rather than general. Listen to your inner voice. Become aware of when you are moved to speak and when you are not moved to speak. Listen carefully and with respect to what another person is telling you. Do not formulate your response while someone is speaking but wait until the other has completely finished. Be aware of your own barriers, such as prejudices, expectations, ideologies and judgments. Be willing to share your own woundedness. This way you invite others to be vulnerable with you. The ability to share brokenness as well as joys and successes is important. Speak the truth in love for the purpose of building up the body in love.
