Heart to Heart: Fourteen Gatherings for Reflection and Sharing
Resources for fourteen gatherings on topics such as forgiveness, loss, nature, money, and friendship. A reimagined model of small group ministry, Heart to Heart offers readings, journaling suggestions, and thought-provoking exercises to help participants prepare for the spiritual practice of sharing in community. Promotes listening rather than back-and-forth discussion.
Christine Robinson is the senior minister of the First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has participated in many versions of this spiritual sharing model, both as a leader and a participant, with clergy and lay people. Most of the gatherings began as sermons on these topics.
Alicia Hawkins, an inveterate collector of quotations and resources for the spiritual journey, helped develop and has led the small group ministry program of the First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque for five years, forming groups, training facilitators and leading groups. She is currently on the board of the Small Group Ministry Network.
