The Model for Small Groups in the Church
This image of the Lord teaching the elders in the temple as a young boy relates
both to a sermon by the Rev. Michael D. Gladish, The Growth of the Lord,
(page 9), and an article by the Rev. John L. Odhner on the history and promise
of Small Groups in the New Church, (page 33). (The image, courtesy of the
General Church Office of Education, is by the late Marguerite L. Acton.)
