Healthy satsang and study circles

Run inclusive gatherings that combine study, devotion, dialogue, service and accountable care.

GUIDANCE AND ACTION

Create a clear covenant

State the purpose, schedule, teaching source, leadership roles, money policy, confidentiality limits and expected conduct. Make it explicit that participants may question, decline practices and leave.

GUIDANCE AND ACTION

Study and disagree well

Read short passages in context, distinguish interpretation from quotation and give minority views fair representation. Prevent one confident voice from dominating the room.

GUIDANCE AND ACTION

Care without overreach

Community can provide meals, visits, prayer and practical companionship. It should not diagnose illness, conceal violence, promise cures or make support conditional on obedience.
