¼¼·¹¸¦ º£ºÎ´Â ¾ÆÀ̵é. She¡¯s a Christian and wants to follow in the
Christian way. So a couple from the church acted as godparents. Now
there are three or four couples in the church who every Sunday try to
get together with her.

Now, where is the "joy" in that church? These are
dour Norwegians! But there¡¯s a lot of joy. There¡¯s an abundant life
going, but it¡¯s not abundant in the way a non-Christian would think. I
think there¡¯s a lot more going on in churches like this; they¡¯re just
totally anticultural. They¡¯re full of joy and faithfulness and
obedience and care. But you sure wouldn¡¯t know it by reading the
literature of church growth, would you?

Touche.
