Dear Sir,
In ‘Growing a rural church’ in the February issue of EN (an interesting article), Chris Sinkinson talks about ‘critical mass’ and needing a certain number within a church to be able to do useful gospel work. He says: ‘Less than [in the region of 30 people] and we may lack the critical mass to really be an effective church’.
I am sure that this is generally absolutely true and it was obviously a blessing to the church of which he is pastor that a local very small church closed and amalgamated with them. However, I want to briefly give the story of our Grace Baptist church in Streatham.
