Its odd
today I was at Coram Deo (the church I have been going to) and I had this thought that it was so odd. I find it odd that one person gets up in front and talks for 45 or an hour and we all just listen. I know that is how it goes, but it doesn't have to be like that. As I sat there, I imagined myself standing up and asking a question or challenging something that he said, and how if I did do that, everyone would think I was totally out of line, or just crazy. I guess I just like the small groups better because I feel like it fosters more growth in that you are able to challenge more. I don't want to just listen to some guy who is a pastor and have to take everything he says for truth. because I don't think everything he says is right. hmm... what am I saying exactly?

Feeling the need to challenge status quo, perhaps?
Personally, I can find it an awkward ritual as well, but it's easier when you respect the guy, mostly agree with him, and can approach him afterward when you don't. Either way, I also prefer small groups. You can't beat the interaction factor- ability to bounce ideas back and forth.
