I've never heard that before, and that's a great quote. I personally think another reason for so many churches (and once again, just my lil' ol' opinion) is that many times, people can't (or won't) sit under leadership. Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians. It's always easy to say what you would do if "I was the Pastor." Leading people is hard work - even harder many times in the church.
