Group discussions, sharing experiences." "Developing a better understanding of our life in Christ and how it relates to the relationships we have in our lives." "Clear focus, good fellowship, left me some weekend to do chores." "The whole discussion of how our family relationships relate to spiritual relationships was very interesting." "It is so often assumed that everyone has the same relationship to "the father", based on their relationship with their male parent, which was revealed as vastly oversimplified based on our discussions." "Comfortable environment to grow as a Christian." "It’s a great way to get to know some fellow parishioners on a deeper level." "Our home-grown speakers did a great job, and we all had a great time together." "You learn the history, depth of character, and experience someone (men you see 1x a week briefly) who likely have had similar life circumstances a time or two." "Great opportunity to spend some time "away from church" with other men of St. Andrews/" "Chance to converse, socialize, study, enjoy, understand, pray, and discuss personal and religious issues with participants." "Great church service participation" "Provided a great medium to discuss and express ideas, positions and perspectives on religious and life issues"
