The Church Is Something Beautiful

Our Relationship With Each Other Is The Criterion The World Uses To Judge Whether Our Message Is Truthful - Christian Community Is The Final Apologetic.

The Basic Problem Of The Christians In This Country In The Last Eighty Years Or So, In Regard To Society And In Regard To Government, Is That They Have Seen Things In Bits And Pieces Instead Of Totals.

The Arbitrary Division Between Church And State... Is Used, As An Easily Identifiable Rallying Point, To Subdue The Opinions Of That Vast Body Of Citizens Who Represent Those With Religious Convictions.

... These Are The Two Factors That Lead To The Destruction Of Our Environment: Money And Time-or To Say It Another Way, Greed And Haste. The Question Is, Or Seems To Be, Are We Going To Have An Immediate Profit And An Immediate Saving Of Time, Or Are We Going To Do What We Really Should Do As God's Children?

No Work Of Art Is More Important Than The Christian's Life, And Every Christian Is Called To Be An Artist In This Sense... The Christian's Life Is To Be A Thing Of Truth And Also A Thing Of Beauty In The Midst Of A Lost And Despairing World.
