Group/Committee Equity Prime | Questions Before Discussion/Decisions
Why are we trying to make the decision now?
Do we have enough information to make an equitable/inclusive decision?
Have we heard directly from those who will be most impacted?
Have we thought through the impact to the whole church?
What additional voices/information do we need to make an equitable/inclusive decision?
What information would lead to more equity?
