Importance of Dialogue and Openness in Small Groups

Small groups have become popular in recent church history because they provide a space for dialogue and openness. However, it is important to note that small groups can also be unhealthy for study. The emphasis should be placed on the ability to ask questions and engage in thoughtful discussion. The pulpit sets the tone for the entire church, where the purpose is not to simply receive answers, but to contemplate and meditate on the scriptures being read.
