A good deal of Ecclesiastical Machinery!

I am reading "Paul the Missionary" ~ Schnabel for my elective. And a quote that caught my eye and made me think was this:

"We imagine that nothing of consequence can be accomplished in the Lord's work without a good deal of ecclesiastical machinery - committees, conferences, workshops, seminars; whereas the early Christians depended less on human wisdom and expertise, more on divine initiative and guidence. It is obvious that they didn't do too badly." ~ Kane
