Even an act of service as simple as visiting the home of a
new believer, whether in a village in the Pacific Islands or in a vast
metropolitan area like London, reinforces ties of fellowship that bind the
members of the community together. Conceived as a means for exposing believers
to the fundamentals of the Faith, "home visits" are giving rise to an
array of deepening efforts, both individual and collective, in which the
friends are delving into the Writings and exploring their implications for
their lives.
