Each person shares on the level where he or she feels comfortable. Silence is a vital part of the total process. Participants are given time to reflect before any sharing begins, and a period of comfortable silence might occur between individual sharings. Persons are encouraged to wait to share a second time until others have contributed who wish to do so. The entire community is responsible for participating and faith-sharing.
Confidentiality is essential, allowing each person to share honestly.
Action flowing out of the small community meetings is essential for the growth of individuals and the community.
