Guiding Values
The Great Commission Roundtable has the following characteristics:
- GCR convenes leaders of functioning established networks that have a constituency and resources behind them. These leaders are able to influence others with whom they have a defined working relationship.
- The meetings of GCR will be kept limited in size to foster openness, speak deeply about issues and cultivate relationships.
- GCR desires to cultivate trust among the participating leaders and to affirm each other.
- GCR through the network leaders, may identify acute needs or critical issues that impact many or all involved in mission. To solve such issues, they may propose Forums for reflection(s) and action. When the task has
been completed, it will cease to exist.
- To facilitate the discussion process, GCR participants will select a suitable facilitator after the group has established the agenda. The facilitative role may be rotated among the different participants.
- The participants need to be committed to continue to meet over time because relational trust is critical to the ongoing process. At the same time, these leaders may choose to invite other leaders to join them for specific
meetings.
- To facilitate the connection between the leaders and the ongoing processes, GCR will have a minimal structure.
