   Paul,

   I have found this report to be valuable, and at the same time I continue to have some questions about it. Who else besides the pastors of the church were interviewed? How did the report account for a possible “reporting bias” from the pastors? Were these qualitative interviews triangulated against other sources of data or information? Were other churches in the neighborhoods interviewed about their opinions of these growing churches? Was the “20% growth” in membership from new converts or from neighboring churches? I like what I hear…but I want to make sure it’s not just what I want to hear.
