PILLARS

Love - is the starting point of R & C community. Without love we cannot build what we set out to achieve: understanding and unity. Love requires you to value each other regardless of differences, to be kind, to be patient, and to be considerate.

Listen - is the active process of R & C community building. To listen requires individuals and/or groups to really hear what another individual or group is saying and requires agendas to be set aside. Listening will beget questions, curiosity, desire to understand, and ability to respond to what is shared within the conversation between the individuals and/or groups.

Honesty - is the growth track of R & C. Honesty takes place between individuals and within yourself. Honesty takes place throughout your journey. Being honest about where you are, how you are feeling, why you do not understand, and what offends you. Honesty will make you confront the thoughts shared even if they are uncomfortable.
