lighthouses and communities of light II

Following my last post about church, I want to quote Tim Chester reflecting on the importance of churches being communities of light rather than big impressive lighthouses:

I was told while in the States of a church that has an annual budget for its Sunday morning meeting - which the staff refer to as ‘the show’ - of $1.5 million (£750,000). I don’t even want to do the maths on how may church planters in the India that would fund - it would be too depressing.

nuff said.
