- “Southern Baptists are becoming less Southern and less white.”
- “Our large churches are larger than they were 30 years ago but their worship centers are significantly smaller.”
- “It’s very difficult for a pastor to come into a very larger church and sustain the rapid growth which was present under his predecessor.”
- “We need to create cultures and environments where indigenous leaders are raised up to lead for the future.”
