Description of Group
When an examination was done at a Christian denominational church in a Sunday school class, there were many particular findings. In this group members meet every Sunday morning for an hour and a half and are presented with a structured lesson. This gathering consists of roughly fifteen participants but attendance occasionally varies. This is largely due to the fact that anyone is welcome to join or leave the discussion at any time.

The belief behind this approach is that deeper possibilities are offered by restricting one’s practice to a single theory (Corey 100). The use and combination of both approaches is considered to be the most efficient in
