Thisi is my reply to Dr. Wu. I will provide an
English version soon.
The "Wilderness Class" represents a learning method and attitude. It’s the method commonly found in the doctoral classrooms, and it’s also how each of us learned as a child before entering the first school, i.e., without a basic premise (sometimes even without language and vocabulary), exploring the unknown world, there is no standard answer, no predicted destination, there is no issue of progress. The class is supposed to be open, accepting different opinions, and constantly questioning and updating. Seeking confirmed knowledge or solutions is not the feasible goal in a classroom within an hour. Encouraging everyone to ask questions and interpret ad lib is achievable and helpful to all involved. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/zht/%E8%A9%9E%E5%85%B8/%E8%8B%B1%E8%AA%9E-%E6%BC%A2%E8%AA%9E-%E7%B9%81%E9%AB%94/improvise
Several principles:
1. No one can obtain and understand all the truth in the life time.
2. Everyone may speak the truth, but we are constantly updating our understanding.
3. Encourage everyone to spread out their prejudices. (What I experienced is "Once words are spoken, I will see shortcomings in my messages. Without speaking to someone, I will keep my thought as is in my mind.")
Avoid teaching in the form of duck-feeding. Promote everyone to learn actively.
Recently, the Interim pastor has been attending, which has prompted us to practice expression in English. Very demanding and tiresome, but rare opportunity.
This is one of the ways to overcome the "learning fatigue" of old believers. Believers should learn to tell others, not just answer the right answer.
It is common for Taiwanese to "Refrain from expressing their ideas or feeling", especially when they are not prepared. Therefore, the wilderness class can also be said to be a place for "polishing the verbal skills."
I am planning to open an "internet chat room" regularly to make practice speeches, especially the practice of "ad lib/improvised speech / reply". One of the special and rare opportunities is "you repeat the talking several times." The practices can also be recorded for review and self examination without judgment from others. One of the main points of the practice is not to point out the shortcomings of each other, but to review and practice separately. Sometimes it is necessary to listen to the recording several times to find the points for improvements.

幾個原則：
- 沒有人可能獲得全部的真理。每個人都可能講得頭頭是道，
但是我們都不斷在更新自己的瞭解。 - 鼓勵大家把自己的偏見攤開來。（我自己是 「話一旦講出來，就會看到缺點。不講出來，就會原地踏步」。
- 避免訓話式、填鴨式的教導。促成大家主動學習。
近來，過渡牧師一直在參加，也就促使我們練習用英語表達。很累，
這是克服老信徒「學習疲勞」的方法之一。

台灣人「辭不達意」，尤其是在沒有準備的情況下，是很普遍的。

請問曠野班是星期天什麼時候開始？
記得以前去過。
很想知道 “曠野的呼聲” 到底是什麼？怎麼一直還走不出來？
