“This is a common scenario in churches. Prayer, Communion, fellowship, and Bible reading don’t attract large crowds. So we start adding elements that will attract people. We accomplish a goal, but it is the wrong goal. There comes a point when so many additions are made that you can no longer call it a church.”
― Francis Chan, We Are Church

“To engage with the Church’s past is to see something of the Church’s future.”
― Rowan Williams, Why Study the Past?: The Quest for the Historical Church

“If we focus too much of our attention on what people want, we will only increase the amount of complaining.”
― Francis Chan, We Are Church
