This powerpoint was developed by JustPeace Center for Mediation & Conflict Transformation of the United Methodist Church to aid in leading small group study of The Journey: Forgiveness, Restorative Justice and Reconciliation.

The Journey was written for eight sessions of two hours each. In the introduction to the book, we recommend studying Chapters 1 4, 5 and 6 together if time does not allow for the full 8-session study.

This is for Class III: (Chapter 5 in The Journey)

The Many: Jesus Christ be wine of grace Jesus Christ be bread of peace.

The Many: Jesus Christ be wine of grace Jesus Christ be bread of peace.

Walls Mark Our Bound’riesAppendix E, page 194, The Journey

Walls mark our bound’ries and keep us apart,

Walls keep the world from our eyes and our heart.

Tables are round, making room for one more,

Welcoming friends we have not known before.

Page 6: Class III Regional School: (Chapter 5 in The Journey)

Walls Mark Our Bound’ries, ChorusAppendix E, The Journey

So build us a table and tear down that wall!

Christ is our host.There is room…….for us all!

Page 7: Class III Regional School: (Chapter 5 in The Journey)

Walls Mark Our Bound’ries, v2Appendix E, The Journey

Walls make us sure who is in and who’s out;

Walls keep us safe from all question and doubt,

But at a table in open exchangeNew ties are formed as our lives

rearrange.

Walls Mark Our Bound’ries, v3Appendix E, The Journey

Once we were strangers, divided, alone.

Hate and distrust built a wall stone by stone.

Now at a table the bread that we share

Joins us to Christ in a circle of care.

Prayer (In unison)

Dear God of all people and all nations, as we hold this talking stick, may we have courage to name our truths and speak them with love and respect. Amen.

Page 12: Class III Regional School: (Chapter 5 in The Journey)

We covenant to:Prepare prayerfully and carefully for the study.Speak with respect.

When talking piece is used, speak only when you have the talking piece.

Be honest – saying what you think, not what you think you should say.

Speak only for yourself.Speak in a way that encourages

dialogue.Be brief and to the point.

Listen with respect.

Our Covenant (page 16)Our Covenant (page 16)

Page 13: Class III Regional School: (Chapter 5 in The Journey)

Listen for understanding the text and one another.Try to understand perspectives that are

different from yours and respect the fact that the goal is not consensus on the meaning of the text but learning and sharing.

Carefully hold all the differences together.Be open to new viewpoints, new ideas – to being transformed.

Keep confidential those personal stories shared in the Circle.

Stay in the Circle throughout the discussion and come to all of the sessions, if at all possible.
