Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy talked about four levels of awareness: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence. The process of becoming increasingly aware, of being consciously competent and eventually unconsciously competent, requires a willingness to take on different viewpoints and have what can be difficult conversations and to take the time to be aware of our own prejudices, biases, and predisposition.
