But what about practical?
The church I pastor is small and in appalachia. I agree that there are certain principles and trends that can appy and one of those is “dialogue”. But how doe one accomplish that? A Q&A sermon? Comment cards? Refreshments after the service to discuss things? A focus in small groups? Obviously there are several options, but I would like to see real life examples of this being modeled; not so I could copy but so that I could see how it works. There simply aren’t any churches in my area doing dialogue very well.
Any suggestions?
