About the Questions:
All of us have caused harm at some point in our lives; so too have we been harmed by others. When that happens, we have the opportunity to embrace a restorative mindset and pursue responses to the harm that model Jesus' reconciling way.
To accomplish this, asking a series of restorative questions can help us begin discerning how to repair the damage done.
Questions for when I have caused harm:
- What happened, who was involved and how were others impacted by it?
- What may have contributed to my actions?
- What do I need so this does not happen again?
- What might others need from me?
- What larger systems/structures contributed here?
Questions for when I have been harmed:
- What happened, and how was I impacted?
- What was most difficult and what do I need to heal?
- Who else was involved?
- How were they impacted and what might they need?
- What larger systems/structures contributed here?
- What process might lead to making things right?
