Tony Morgan's recent post on "church math" got my attention. I'm not a math major, but my experience in church-world validates Tony's equations.more meetings = less ministry
unclear vision = packed ministry calendar
packed ministry calendar = volunteer burnout
more announcements = less ministry engagement
more ministries = more announcements
fewer people inviting friends = smaller crowds
lack of added value = fewer people inviting friends
fewer constraints = less creativity
same methods = same results
