On Committees

While looking through one of my journals this morning, I came across a couple of observations about committees.  In my 23 years in ministry, I worked with many effective groups of people and saw many things get done that extended the outreach of the church.  Then, there are some committees that were less effective.  I'm not sure where these quotes came from but here you go...

To get something done, a committee should consist of three people - two of whom are absent.

If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it.
