Individuals learn to articulate truth "on the job" as they work out the
content of their faith in the context of a small faith community. When
church gatherings are participatory, worship and training overlap in
significant ways. One believer in the Bronx once said: "It has actually
empowered me to be able to instruct people, which I never thought I
would be able to do. I didn't think I'd be able to do that for twenty
years."
Group discussion nurtures accountability as different voices contribute
to Biblical interpretation. Participation by each person encourages
on-the-job training, and specialized teaching by includes conversation
and dialog. Groups learn together through mutual sharing, inductive
Bible discussions, and meaningful conversations. Essentially,
participatory meetings emphasize formation and encourage a built-in
accountability as each person learns and grows as an active part of a
community of faith.
