(well really that's not possible, but they keep trying!)
In church, I do not want to hear about "key result areas" or a vision statement.
I think I copied most of the following from Roger Oakland:
Most churches were once small flocks with shepherds. As the pastors taught the Word and fed the sheep, some small flocks grew to become mega-churches. These mega-churches often grew to the point and by methods such that there was no longer a flock, but a herd. There were so many sheep and more than a few goats in the herd that the shepherd had no choice but to manage it by turning the church into a corporation.
As everyone knows, churches, when they become corporations have to operate like a corporation not a church. In the world, people in corporations are always looking for position and leaders exert control. The only way one can be successful in climbing the corporate ladder is to be loyal to the corporation and the corporate president. As was rightly taught in early 2007, the church is not a corporation and should not be operated as such. ‘Tis sad for me, that a church does not appear to follow the Biblical teachings it oft presents.
