Community Norms
We are committed to these norms within Middle Church’s community and spaces we hold together:
Learn more
We listen to understand until the speaker has finished and we do not interrupt
We ask clarifying questions (I’m so glad you share that, do you mind if I ask you a clarifying question)
We do not cross-talk (Thank you for your perspective, here’s my point of view/take on that/I have a different thought VS I think you are wrong or I disagree or That is so stupid)
We speak for ourselves, not our cohort, our group, or anyone else
We use “I statements” as often as possible. (When I am interrupted, I feel frustrated and find it difficult to stay engaged VS You interrupt me and it makes me frustrated)
We keep confidentiality in our groups
We do not make triangles, we say what needs to be said to the person who needs to hear it.
We tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Lying is disrespectful and anti-community. We know there might be more than one truth in a system but we try to tell ours and own it.
We step up and step back to allow all voices to be heard.
