- Why are there so many church consultants? See #1 above.

- How much does the name "Methodist" cost? Ask the trustees of Southern [methodist] University.
- What is fruitless? Probably lecturing on fruitfulness. Or hearing a lecture on it.
- What's a mission-based appointment? Too early to tell; maybe it's new code for a "challenge."
