Why would you be worried about church growth when WL told us, "
I don't care if I have 50 people meeting here. As long as they're absolute."
On the other hand, if you are genuinely concerned, why don't you take this up with LSM management who excommunicated 100's of LC's in huge regions of two continents?
Are their hearts that infinitesimally small that they cannot stomach a little diversity?
