  10. What structural NORMs have we created? • What are the unspoken rules, routines, patterns, and traditions of our church that gives it a unique identity? • What do people feel free and easy doing in our church? • What do people “have permission” to do in our church? • What do people feel pressured to do in our church? • What have people wanted to do but felt pressured not to do in our church? • What have people felt pressured not to do: therefore, people don’t do it and feel at ease? • What issues trigger conflict?
