Questions and Comments at Xenos

Strange Things in Xenos
or Why Xenos will never be a model for other churches

31. Question and Comment time at main meetings - Visitors are amazed when our main "service" ends and the pastor asks if there are comments or questions. People hold up their hands and ushers bring them cordless microphones. The teacher points to people who ask questions or who make a point.

This part of our Central Teachings is very popular, especially with new people. Of course, we have no way of knowing what people will say. Some guests may use this time to express outrage or disagreement with what was said. When this happens, the speaker gives a rejoinder and we move on. Once in awhile, someone may share something inappropriate or really crazy! Our teachers ask them to sit down and offer some appropriate response.

Usually, the questions or points are really good. It gives the church an opportunity to correct imbalances in the teaching, or to clarify points that were unclear or misleading. We love it! We have always wondered why more churches don't have this feature.
