the state of the church?????

Sally Morgenthaler quotes Surowiecki from The Wisdom of Crowds,

“Groups that are too much alike find it harder to keep learning because each member is bringing less and less to the table. Homogeneous groups are great at doing what they do well, but they become progressively less able to investigate alternatives . . .[They spend] too much time exploiting and not enough time exploring … But, if you can assemble a diverse group of people who possess varying degrees of knowledge and insight, you’re better off entrusting it with major decisions rather than leaving them in the hands of one or two people, no matter how smart those people are.”

i just read this quote and wondered is that what has become of the church in america today? we are all so alike we no longer challenge each other and have different opinions. i hope this is not the case. i hope that this doesn't happen to us. this can be avoided by constantly engaging with others and trying to meet new people and share thoughts and ideas with many people.

what are your thoughts??
