Select Leader who will decide when to move to next section: Whoever has lived in this city the longest.

 

Introductions, and talk about how you got along in grade school with your teachers and classmates.

 

Personalize. Read all the following questions and then people can talk about any of them. We all know how we’re supposed to act toward others, so the focus will be on those unusual or difficult situations. How have you handled any of the following: people who have victimized you; people who ask you for charity on the street; people who have hurt one of your loved ones; or you could mention any ethical dilemma you have faced where it was not at all clear how you should treat someone else.

 

God’s Word: treat others as God has treated you.
