Discussion Questions

1. Review Diann Uustal’s summary steps for the Ethic of Care:
      1) show up,
      2) shut up—be fully present,
      3) seek the story,
      4) suspend judgment and
      5) stick with them.
How does Donna Trimm exemplify each of those steps?

2. Read Luke 10:30-37. How does the Samaritan demonstrate each step?

3. Consider a situation you are confronting now or recently faced. How could you apply the same steps to that situation?
