Acts 21 Pinky promises (and other Vows) Part 2

Paul copes with the 'fake news' of the day.

How do ideas gain consideration in faith communities?
Does the 'theatre model' of church (speaker up front, audience in rows, listening silently)
facilitate discussion and consideration?

What other 'modes of church' might make discussion and deliberation about 'truth' easier?
