Religion Quote by John Corvino
““No one doubts that relocating a growing congregation is inconvenient. So is relocating a growing shoe store, supermarket, or household. But it doesn’t follow that a pastor’s desire for a bigger building should outweigh the community’s desire for modestly sized structures and limited traffic.””
