Bible Studies.
Here you will find a list of various Bible studies intended to promote Dialogue in the context of a loving family of Spirit-filled disciples.
Dialogue with a capital 'D', is a very simple, but special, form of group communication. It’s not a debate or dispute in which people try to score points off each other; and it’s not talking past each other; speaking but not listening, as is so common today.
Dialogue is a free-flowing group conversation in which participants attempt to reach a common understanding; experiencing everyone’s point of view fully, equally and non-judgementally.
It’s about reaching a new and deeper, common understanding, not necessarily agreement.
Doesn’t that sound a lot like Steven Covey’s Fifth Habit of Highly Effective People,
Seek to understand before being understood.
Dialogue helps us to achieve that.
The Church is a Family.
The Church of Jesus Christ is a Family, a community of Spirit-filled disciples led by loving parents, not a human organisation lorded over by popes, priests and pastors, the ‘hireling shepherds’ of John 10:12.
