Dan Kimball writes (as an aside) in his review of Vintage Faith’s Resurrection Sunday gatherings, about a growing discomfort with multi-site simulcast churches and the practice’s potential effect on one’s ecclesiology.

Some will look at the situation and say, as long as Jesus is being preached, it doesn’t matter what the delivery method is. God is blessing it numerically, so it must be right.

Others will see the same thing and suggest that it’s better to re-invest, or plant communities instead of adding new rings to a large tree.

Can a church community simulcast its’ services and grow in health as it grows in numbers? How does material success change the dynamics that favored a church’s growth in the first place?
