"...the worst thing that could happen to the future of world evangelization is to bring in 100 million new 'converts' like the last 100 million, since their superficiality obscures rather than reveals the glory of God."
-- S. Douglas Birdsall, the executive director of the Lausanne Movement, describing part of his motivation in working to bring about the third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in Cape Town (2010). (Cited by Scott Hafemann in "For the Fame of His Name" [Crossway], p. 251, n.19)
