The Randy White article sounds extreme but I agree with everything he is saying since I lived through a church growth movement myself. No more megachurches for me and my family. We are now in a small family oriented church where the pastor knows everyone by name. He teaches the adult Sunday School before the service. He greets everyone after the Sunday service. He responds to e-mails the same day. We know we could pick up the phone and call him at any time. If any of us were in the hospital he would be there. We pray for members of the congregation every Sunday and for their family members who are not members. We will never go back to the big glitzy megachurch with the big screen projected pastor who is not even there in the building with us. A few years ago I was having a personal crisis and needed to talk with my pastor. i called my megachurch, got a recorded message that said for me to leave a message and someone would get back to me within 24 hours. The pastor who called me back the next day had no idea who I was and I had no idea who he was. Done with megachurches.
