This week, Adam and Matt are joined by John McKnight to discuss the six (possibly even seven) attributes of a culture of contribution, how these characteristics in a community could foster peace, and then continues with the roles that we play within our neighborhood.

The six attributes discussed: Cooperation, Hospitality, Generosity, Kindness, Accepting Fallibility, Forgiveness, (and the seventh, Spirituality.) 

• What would you do to make these manifest?

• The people who love you, which of these attributes would they say YOU have?

• And look at your neighbors. What attributes do you see them living into? We want to hear your stories.

• How do we tell these stories in our neighborhoods?

The roles that people perform in a community: Healers, Conscience, Artists, Conveners, Bridgers, Connectors, Voices, Visionaries, Executors, Tuck Pointers.  We would welcome your thoughts on this list. 

• Which of these do you feel like is a role that gives you joy?

• Is there a role that you would add?

• And think about your neighbors. Do you see them embodying a role listed here? If so, what does that look like?

• Are there missing roles you would add to this list?
