Are we supposed to add to this?1. Power2. Influence3. PrestigeOh wait... I tend to be addicted to the same things. Maybe the sin of the organization mirrors our sins?
Conflict?
Power and fighting with each other.
Oops, I didn't mean to put this up. It was a seed thought.But while we're at it, I take all of your points and add these:SlogansAcronymsA steady, though decreasing stream of fundsMegapastors as denominational leadersMegachurches as the only churches that really count.Megachurch people as the only people worth putting on significant committees.
Males as the only gender capable of serving positions of leadership, even those that are non-senior pastor slots.
Celebrity Pastors/Preachers, when's the last time your heard of Rev. Nobody from FBC Middle of Nowhere (county seat) at a pastorS conference or on a comittee even at the state level?
