“…out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks…”
Micah Community:
We encourage everyone with various faith backgrounds and worldviews to participate in the forum, and the moderator at each episode of the forum would reinforce the ground rules:
Participants would be asked to “raise hands” (i.e. using the Zoom feature) and wait to be asked by the moderator to share their ideas, thoughts, and encouragements.
Use civil language, consciously careful to refrain from intentionally or personally offending anyone present or not present at the forum.
Importantly, the speakers and moderators who are chosen will be those who subscribe to biblical orthodoxy and orthopraxy - i.e. right biblical beliefs (inspiration and inerrancy of the Scriptures) and right practice of those beliefs.
Format of the Forum:
It will be a moderated forum containing the following elements:
Welcome and introductions by MFB rep (5 minutes)
Speaker introduction by the moderator (5 minutes)
A 20-30 minutes talk on a given topic by an expert in the field
Q & A session and discussion (45 minutes)
Moderator comments and encouragement for action (5 minutes)
The Micah Forum events would be hosted every three months (4 times a year).
