“Introverts treasure the close relationships they have stretched so much to make.”
― Adam S. McHugh, Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture

“When introverts go to church, we crave sanctuary in every sense of the word, as we flee from the disorienting distractions of twenty-first-century life. We desire to escape from superficial relationships, trivial communications and the constant noise that pervade our world, and find rest in the probing depths of God's love.”
― Adam S. McHugh, Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture

“The verbal tool of exploring mystery together is not confrontation or preaching but dialogue. We subject ourselves to the same questions we pose to others, and as we traverse them together, we may arrive at surprising conclusions we could never have reached when simply trying to defeat one another's logic. Our questions are open ended, granting the other person the freedom to respond or not to respond. The questions stick with us, even haunt us, long after we ask them, and we await insight together. The process is more important than an immediate decision.”

“We fear to trust our wings. We plume and feather them, but dare not throw our weight upon them. We cling too often to the perch.”
