WARMUP: Greetings and wait on the Q to show up :pensive:, then prayer.
THE THANG: Start off by catching back up where we left off last week, Borg asked some great questions and left them as homework.
1. In leading a group, at what point do standards and criteria become hypocritical?
2. Then consider this in relation to proximity – the difference with a relationship vs absent a relationship.
We discussed at length what it meant to by hypocritical, mainly when compared to ignorance or a lack of awareness. None of us are perfect, so humility and candor are required to avoid hypocrisy.
If you have to ask yourself where the line is between okay and too far, then you are already treading in dangerous territory.
