This document discusses collaborative decision making using APEST principles. It encourages walking worthily with humility, gentleness, patience, and unity. It notes there is one body, spirit, hope, faith, baptism and God. It also outlines a 4 week webinar series on diversity and inclusion that moves from understanding unity and diversity, to including diverse perspectives, navigating tensions and conflicts, and formulating adaptive responses. The webinars aim to help groups progress through these stages.
