Successors

Common misconceptions

Believing the welcome promise is a one-time activity (it is recited weekly all term)
Believing welcome promise alone is sufficient (it must accompany action - lesson 17 newcomer buddy partnering, lesson 18 gallery invitation)
Believing the promise can be generic (it must explicitly name all four paths)
