A while ago I did a coaching weekend with Adrian Gilpin of the Institute of Human Development which I thoroughly enjoyed and have found very useful. He introduced me to Tony Robbins, the Enneagram and the Sedona Method as well as some great books, and quotes from people past.
One of the points he made was how different we all are and illustrated this by a game. When the Institute were running conferences they would get everybody to gather in groups of ten. Each group of ten people would choose a single word for the group, either "sex" or "education". Each individual person in the group would write down ten words that they associate with the group's single word. When everybody had written down their ten words the group would compare notes and make a list of any word that appeared on *all* ten peoples list. All the results of the groups were collated for the conference.
The question is what was the largest number of words that a group had in common? The answer surprised me. Over the number of years and the tens of thousands of people they never had any group with a single word in common!!!
My fear of sex education is this that the Church is so uniform that it might score higher than the average coaching seminar audience.
Would anybody be up for trying this game?

Fascinating. I'd love to try the game.
