We know that people are spiritual, but somehow many of us have lost the words to talk about spiritual things. We have moments of awe and wonder, but no one ever asks us about them. We love deeply and passionately but have to pretend we’re cool about it. We know Jesus makes a difference to our lives but haven’t tried to speak about it before.

The questions in ASKaround lay the groundwork for exploring this part of life.

· The questions on these cards are jargon-free, so everyone can be part of the conversation.

· There are eight big themes, and 10 intriguing questions in each

· They are for all ages, backgrounds and have no agenda, they make no assumptions.

The ASKaround cards are designed for people who have never heard of the Church or religion. So, use them to build connections – be generous with your listening. Lay the groundwork for authentic conversations about spiritual things.

· Have a ‘not so trivial’ night at your parish. Invite people to talk together and offer the gift of listening.

· Take a deck in the car to soccer practice and have your grandchild choose a question to answer.

· Use the deck as homework in a Religious Education class: students choose a question to ask someone else and report on their findings.
