		<description>&lt;p&gt;Fair enough I guess.
I think as a church gets bigger it should sub-divide and become more, smaller churches, rather than a big conglomerate of people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think it&#039;s too easy for people to get lost in a big church. That&#039;s my main gripe.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hmmm...I&#039;m not convinced by that. You get good and bad churches large and small. Sometimes I feel people are unnecessarily hostile to large churches.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My previous church regularly had around 800 adults in a service - my current church has about 40. So I&#039;ve seen both sides!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To be honest, I enjoy a smaller church as you can get in there and be really involved and make a difference. At the same time, our &quot;small church&quot; is aiming to grow into a &quot;big church&quot;...&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think that mega-churches have definite benefits, but I think it becomes very easy  for them to fall into the &#039;church-lite&#039; trap, with everything being about the feeling caused by the music etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not that there is anything wrong with good music and high production values, but I think they are better suited to an event rather than being someone&#039;s standard church meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;No, we dont need to do it the mega-church way. But there is nothing inherently wrong with the mega-church either. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;mega- and mini- both have their advantages...&lt;/p&gt;
