Some more information...

1) The purpose of the programme is to invite non-members to discuss life's big questions as an entry to the Gospel and a relationship with Jesus.

2) The format is to meet for some refreshment/meal, hear a presentation about one of life's big questions and then enter into a small discussion group to explore the question and the presentation.  It is for this discussion that we are seeking facilitators (and co-facilitators).

3) The commitment we are asking from facilitators is to attend a training/orientation session (SATURDAY 21 AUGUST 8-11am) and then host six consecutive Wednesday evening discussions (1 SEPTEMBER - 6 OCTOBER 7-8:45pm).  If the facilitator is not available for all sessions, it is not a problem, and we would look to the co-facilitator or another member of the group to assist in their absence.  In between the sessions there will be information provided about the upcoming sessions with some guidance on how to stimulate discussion and anticipate further questions that may arise.

4) As a facilitator or co-facilitator, you do not have to know the answers, but will be there to promote discussion (for which there will be training) and help people discover what they are missing in their lives for themselves.

5) The attributes we are seeking are people who can develop trust in the group, who can handle their "guests" with sensitivity and confidentiality, who have a passion for people and strong relational skills and who are good listeners.  We are looking for facilitators to be non-judgemental, respectful, honest, humble and who can embrace diverse views in a way the people feel comfortable and able to share their inner feelings.

6) Whilst the presentations will be in English, hosts may engage in other languages that their guests are comfortable with.

7) We hope to invite people from all walks of life and across all age groups, so we are looking for a diverse group of facilitators who are able to relate to others easily and without doctrinal prejudice or judgement.
