Module 4
Self-check and goals
Two short check-ins and a place for goals. Nothing here is scored or ranked; the point is to see your own confidence change, and to decide what you will do with it.
Before you begin
1 = not at all confident · 5 = very confident
I can name where my tradition and another Christian tradition genuinely agree about God.
I can explain a case where both traditions use the same word but mean something different.
I can state a real disagreement plainly, without caricaturing the other side.
I can describe what the Restoration adds relative to the creeds without claiming it replaces them.
I can read a statistic about this comparison and say what it does not prove.
I feel prepared to have this conversation with a friend from another tradition, charitably.

Goals
One or two is enough. A good goal names a person, a question, and a sentence you want to be able to say.
