The main argument that intrigued me is the benefit the local congregations receive by retaining the talented members instead of shipping them off to SLC. In a way, I kinda agree.

What good are those guys in SLC doing any way? They have almost no impact upon our daily lives, but the local leaders have some.
He is an apologist. He would have us believe the entire international non-USA Mormon community can't spare one leader. He makes it sound like it is out of great love and regard for the international Mormon community that no one is called to be an apostle.

Come on.

I don't know why they haven't called an intl apostle outside of the German guy. Probably because they don't know too many very intimately, so they don't get thrown into the pot of candidates that they pray about.
