Introverts in the church. (Pay attention, extroverts especially)

Introverted Church blog


From the WP article:

"Too often "ideal" Christians are social and gregarious, with an overt passion and enthusiasm. They find it easy to share the gospel with strangers, eagerly invite people into their homes, participate in a wide variety of activities, and quickly assume leadership responsibilities. Those are wonderful qualities, and our churches suffer when we don't have those sorts of people, but if these qualities epitomize the Christian life, many of us introverts are left feeling excluded and spiritually inadequate. Or we wear ourselves out from constantly masquerading as extroverts."


There's a lot to think about here. Can we start this conversation? What are your thoughts? Experiences? Great articles? Books?
