First Church of the Introvert
Have you ever noticed how many Protestant churches have worship services designed for Extroverts? I have a request to make to the leaders of churches: Don't forget the introverts. All of us are not comfortable shouting out a prayer request in church. I realize that some pastors like the interaction, however, make sure you've thought of us quiet ones, too. We want to participate, but we'd probably rather write a prayer request.

Extroverts like attention and even need it. They also need to hear themselves speak to know what they think. That doesn't bother me a bit. I'm glad they're talking, so I don't have to. But remember that introverts can have good ideas, too. The difference is we have them the next day when church is over. We are sometimes embarrassed by attention and don't really need much of it in public.

The world is set up for extroverts, but the church doesn't have to be.
