Conversation
Cards
How do you get that conversation going? How do you begin a dialogue over the topic of race which has always been sensitive -- and is only more so today.
​
Enter the Interwoven Congregations Conversation Cards! They are a series of 40 discussion prompts that invite the conversation partners into reflections that are individual and personal, and also then corporate and congregation-based.
How do you use them? Congregations are using the cards in a variety of ways:
-
As the focal point for an evening of conversation for the congregation at large, or even in partnership with another congregation.
​
-
As a series of weekly, bi-weekly or monthly discussions sponsored by the congregation.
​
-
As a special retreat focus by the congregation's leadership, antiracism team, Women's Guild or youth group.
​
-
As a personal devotional resource that someone uses over 40 days -- on their own, or with a devotional partner. ​
​
-
Here's a further guide on using the cards.
​How do I get them? You have three options!
​
-
Physical Decks. You can purchase a deck
for $15 + shipping (tax is included) using the
checkout to the right.
We will also have decks for sale at in-person
Interwoven events.
​​​​​​​​
-
Power Point File. You can download this
Power Point file which has each of the 40
Conversation Cards on a slide. That's handy if
you're using the cards at a larger event (either
in-person or on Zoom) and want to put some
select discussion prompts up on the screen.
​​
-
PDF File. Interwoven Congregations Network
members have the additional option of printing
the cards out themselves from a PDF file.

We'd love to hear from you!
