Have you tried forming groups of "pagans" with only one believer (apostle) present. It is easier to address the domination thing as it arises if you are not contending with church tradition as well.

I have experienced these meetings often during our training. We have a Simple Church experience where trainees are put into small simple churches and just have to do it. The first time is often a bit wooden and difficult, but later sessions become very meaningful and Spirit-led. Perhaps careful explanation and instructions are needed to avoid the type of dominating behavior you have seen. Also, not meeting with existing Christian might be a key.

Great, but beware of those who would want to take over, run the show, build a building, get paid, get on stage.......beware of dogs!

Cool and I have enjoyed watching your response to this other video. I've been going to one home fellowship or the other for about three years and in each of the three cases (three different ones in three years) there has always been a dominate, male leader who facilitates each meeting. Have you ever experienced a meeting where Christ is truely the head and everyone restrains themselves from being the dominate head of the group? I would love to find such a gathering.
