Kyle,

You are of course right about size being a major factor here. I had a pastor once who thought 200 members was the optimum size for a church. He felt a church should start planning to plant a new church when it got larger than 200 members. He may be right.

Paul,

Thanks again--and you are right about too much emphasis on personality types. I decided to post a link to the other thread and quoted your comments on it (the Touchstone blog). It will be interesting to see whether this gets a response.
