“When Christ as the center of our meetings is taken away, when you take away our living room meetings, when you give us clergy, when you perfunctorily deliver lectures which do not show us the depths of the riches we have in Christ, when you do not show us how to experience Him both individually and corporately, in the depths, when you leave us nothing to do but sit and start at a lectern in a civic auditorium that has funny-looking stained glass stuck in the windows, or even if you get real bold and let us go back to the living room meeting but only with the prerequisite that we have a leader directing us in what amounts to a miniature of the Sunday service… when you do all that to us, you have taken away our birthright and given a distasteful expression of what “Christian” means, to us and to the world!” – Gene Edwards
