but on the other hand kinda mass-produced :s Rob Hanks was telling us about a similar set up somewhere or other in the US, the place invented the 'learning group' structure (as opposed to small groups). apparently the NSW youth unit sent a bunch of people over there about five years ago to learn how they did it. as we were sitting there preparing for a one-off camp, it struck me as a really idea, just repeating the same formula over and over again. doesn't it put you kinda outside of the whole thing and give the whole experience a bit of a mechanical feeling?
i don't doubt you'll be good at it, though.
one of the things i remember most clearly with regard to you, is a bunch of us lying around in the park in Broken Hill, you and Will just lying there and occaisionally asking questions to make other people talk. Until one of you tried it on the other, and you ended up in this contest for the right to be the Designated Listener and Absorber. which, if you've ever seen Dogma, reminds me of Rufus' description of Jesus.
