Relational meeting

Relational meeting

The relational meeting is a primary organizing tool used by the Industrial Areas Foundation [Edward T. Chambers with Michael A Cowan, "Roots for Radicals: Organizing for Power, Action , and Justice" (New York: Continuum, 2004), Ch. 2, pp. 44-54.] and other congregation-based community organizing groups including Gamaliel Foundation and PICO National Network – and also often in union organizing. It consists of a one-on-one, face-to-face meeting of two persons lasting at least 30 minutes, where personal topics and stories dealing with values, motivations, self-interest and life are discussed in an often confessional, cathartic sort of manner. [Dennis A. Jacobsen, "Doing Justice: Congregations and Community Organizing" (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2001), Ch. 7, pp. 59-64.]
