Quotes About Committee meetings

Churches for churched people obsess over the most frivolous, inconsequential things. It's why you dread your board meetings, your elder meetings, and your committee meetings. You rarely talk about anything important. You're managing found people. I know you care about un-found people in your heart. But do you care in your schedule, your programming, your preaching style, or your budget?

Douglas Thornton [an English Christian missionary to Cairo, Egypt with the Church Missionary Society from 1898-1907] was often more amusing than he tried to be.

Such exchanges enliven heavy committee eetings and create wholesome laughter.
~ J. Oswald Sanders

~ Ben Dolnick
Both ministers said their theology was "love." "Love is the doctrine of our church," said Liz. "Love is the thread of the interconnected web," said Phoebe.
