6. Open Discussion Topic (using AA Sharing Format-2 min. timed shares):
As a reminder, we would like to remind all those attending the GSA Open Phone Bridge Intergroup meeting that we have decided to use the AA “Sharing Session” approach for all topics of discussion. For each topic, a member may speak for up to two minutes. No one will speak more than once per topic until all members have shared at least one time. Please be respectful of this approach. The purpose is to allow all voices to be heard in order to see if we have substantial unanimity on a topic. Our open sharing sessions are not necessarily attempting to reach substantial unanimity at this time.
- Topic #1: What can we do to make sponsors more available to the newcomer?
- Topic #2: What is the right thing to do about leaderless meetings?
7. Close with the “I am responsible…” prayer and the “WE” version of the Serenity Prayer
“I am responsible…when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help. I want the hand of GSA always to be there. And for that; I am responsible”
