Setting up Conversations on Your Own
What if you don't want to use existing organizations or institutions
to sponsor your conversation project, or can't find one? Anyone
can sponsor a conversation, and conversations can be held just
about anyplace, including private homes.
A conversation might simply be an informal gathering of neighbors
at someone's house or a community center. Or maybe people from
two or three religious groups might come together to discuss issues.
It is probably a good idea, even if you are not partnering with
another organization, to put together an informal planning
group to get the benefit of a range of opinions and to garner
help in planning and carrying out the conversation.
