A sermon does bring the congregation back<br />to a central point or focus- like the center of a larger<br />wheel with many outer spokes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875596792830939285.post-29529430727934589352010-05-19T16:01:54.338-07:002010-05-19T16:01:54.338-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875596792830939285.post-30222641988401558662010-05-19T15:19:29.676-07:002010-05-19T15:19:29.676-07:00I have long felt that the church has been slow to ...I have long felt that the church has been slow to respond to the idea that people learn in different ways. Leaders and pastors have not done much to examine ways that they might teach differently in response to people's various learning styles and strengths. I find it difficult these days to sit in a straight pew or chair and listen to a 40 min sermon. Sitting and just listening to a lecture (aka sermon) is not how I learn. For me, true learning requires some level of discussion. Anyways. I did go to a church at one point that experimented with this kind of interactive model. They put different kinds of worship "zones" in their gym and you could experience them at your own pace in your own time. I know it took a lot of work to pull that off, but I definitely remember the experience.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! :)Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925798648859695010noreply@blogger.com
