Dear en,
Welcome to our world! It is a measure of how far the culture of the general population of the UK has shifted that Rico Tice wisely recommends one-to-one Bible study as a good approach for sharing the gospel with many of our contemporaries. Those of us who have specialised in witness to, for example, Muslims and Jews, have long viewed such a method as standard because we are asking people to step outside of their culture, one which developed in an atmosphere of opposition to the gospel; and people don’t usually do that in groups. In reality, that is what we are asking most of our contemporaries to do nowadays –- to connect with those whose views are increasingly seen as culturally unacceptable; something not easily done in groups. We need to adapt.
Yours,
