Small meetings are an important feature, small is the meeting of the future.

A small meeting, as much as a large one, is working with the fundamental materials of the life: the forces at work within and between the individuals who make up the community, and the response of individuals and the group. The formal life of the meeting, how it conducts its business, can play an important role in the meeting’s growth.
