Summary

The quote highlights the advantages and drawbacks of being a part of a big church community. On the downside, the speaker acknowledges that it's challenging to personally know everyone, attend personal events, or individually connect with each member. However, the benefits lie in the sense of community, where a large number of individuals come together to serve and support one another. The mention of ushers dedicating their time and effort, even on their day off, and the preparation of sacramental wafers demonstrates the depth of commitment and teamwork found within a big church.

They were simply men without a shield. They'd looked at the world and realized that all the rules didn't have to apply to them, not if they didn't want them to. They weren't fooled by all the little stories. They shook hands with the beast.
