And at the church I participate in all the sermons are conversational - we all participate in struggling with the text and no one person's interpretation dominates or gets a 45 minute soapbox. It's more work for us all, but one cannot discern the truth of Christianity by one's self or without work - this church also includes people who do not identify as Christian and that also contributes to the conversational/dialogical aspect of engaging the good news in the sermon. I encourage us all to really try it in our churches - to practice what Volf and Goldingay suggest. I agree.
