Sacred Friendships discussions are the core of GIMA. These easy, one-hour conversations are for anyone interested in exploring the faith world of others. The purpose is to deepen our relationships and know each other, not just about each other. Each session focuses on a conversation topic led by two of our committee chairs, Betty Brandt and Rabbi Brett Krichiver. All are welcome!

Difficult Disagreement

Disagreement is a part of every community. Sometimes those who challenge us help us grow, and sometimes they test our patience, convictions, or sense of belonging. How do you stay in relationship with people when you disagree? When is disagreement an opportunity for growth, and when is it time to establish boundaries? How do we remain open to difficult truths without romanticizing conflict or tolerating harm?
