• We come together to learn from each other and understand our differences and the things which unite us.
• It’s normal to feel strongly about matters of faith and spirituality.
• It’s okay to agree. It’s okay to disagree.
• We acknowledge that our labels and life stage help define us, but we understand that we are more than our labels and ages.
• We acknowledge that we will learn things about many religions, faith traditions, and life practices, but understand that no participant can represent a religion, faith tradition, or life practice in its entirety.
• We enjoy the freedom to speak, to listen, to think, and to question with respect.

We implement these principles by:

• Sharing honestly
• actively listening
• taking turns
• staying on topic
• disagreeing in the spirit of understanding rather than judgment or anger
• dialoguing in order to understand, not change or convert others
