House of Worship Activities
One of the goals of This I Believe is to inspire people to reflect, encourage them to share, and engage them in a conversation about personal values and beliefs. Houses of Worship provide a unique venue for such conversations.
Discussion Guide
Working with an interfaith group of pastors, we have developed a House of Worship Discussion Guide that can help you engage a group of people in a moderated conversation about belief and values. Contents include ground rules for structuring a dialogue, questions to launch the conversation, and tips for writing and sharing essays.
This guide is available from the This I Believe store, along with several other documents that have been prepared for educators and communities.
Workshops and Speaking Engagements
This I Believe’s Executive Producer Dan Gediman is available to speak to your House of Worship. We also offer a day-long belief-discernment workshop that culminates with all participants writing their own This I Believe essay and sharing it with the group. For more information, please contact us.
