  14. Discussion Series: A Pastoral Letter on Racial Harmony • TABLE SHARING GUIDELINES • Sharing Rules • I will listen with respect and interest. (turn off cell phones) • I will not interrupt except to say I can’t hear the speaker. • I will make “I” statements and share my own experiences not those of someone else. • I will share concisely and allow time for others to speak. • I will “pass” if I am not ready to share but I will not opt out of the conversation completely. • I will not use “us” and “them”, other divisive words, or racist or derogatory labels.   • I will not try to explain away or make excuses for someone else’s experience. • I will stay on the topic of racism and not introduce other “isms”. • I will keep as sacred what is shared in the group and I will not repeat it outside of the group. • If someone becomes upset, the table leader will call a facilitator to help the person. 16
