This is so very true. I was at a church growth, oops, sorry, church health conference last week. I got so used to hearing about churches that have attendances in their thousands that I actually started to look down at attendees when they told me about the church of 200 they pastor.
I had to take a big reality check when I returned home to my church of 30.
Like David said a few weeks ago, we’re called to serve people, not a vision.
[...] Verfasst von windhauch am 13.08.2008 Also ehrlich gesagt: Dieses Buch frustriert mich! Es weckt bei mir keine Begeisterung, Neues zu wagen, sondern eher Frust über die scheinbare Ausweglosigkeit traditioneller Gemeinden. Mir ging es beim Lesen so wie es David Hayward in einem Cartoon auf den Punkt bringt: “Sure, you can read church growth and success books. But read them like you read porn: it looks amazing, you’ll get excited, but it’s something you’ll never get your hands on.” [...]

David… your stuff is very good.
It makes me laugh too… because lots of it… philosophically I don’t agree with! yet I love it because there is some great truth there.
Really… we should hang one day
to laugh or to shake my head in sullen agreement…
both?
Sad but true.
amazing… just makes so much sense in a warped cathartic manner and I did laugh out loud, too.
