Or Akron in 69. After that Seven Spirits Conference in Erie. Being from Ohio, I often heard about that. Never was there though.
I have found that "
how good a meeting is" to us often is unrelated to the meeting at all, whether free form or structured. Being in the LC's for so many years, I was in all kinds of meetings, all kinds of places, all kinds of shapes and sizes.
The meeting format can help a little. Good messages can help. Exciting attendants can help too. But the primary ingredient is our heart, how hungry our heart is for the Lord. A hungry heart can find the Lord richly in any place.
Actually spending all our time on meeting formats can be just a waste of time. We researched that topic to death. No one ever spent more time examining meeting formats than we did.
