In our time it may well be that the greatest single bottleneck to the renewal and outreach of the church is the division of roles between clergy and laity. In the end it leads to a reluctance on the part of the laity to trust themselves as authentic ministers of Christ, which they are. ~ Robert Munger

It is strange that sometimes the church is written off by those who know little or nothing about it. They are not involved in its process or mission. In no other field would we take the word of a bystander as a word of authority and appraisal. ~ C. Neil Strait

~ Councilor Hamann, The Matrix Reloaded Tonight let us honor these men and women, these our soldiers, our warriors, these our husbands and wives, our brothers and sisters, our children.

To be in the presence of even the meanest, lowest, most repulsive specimen of humanity is still to be closer to God than when looking up into a starry sky or at a beautiful sunset. For we cannot really love a sunset; we can love only a person. ~ Mike Mason

~ Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian For contemporary Christians, to meet regularly in small groups is not an option or a luxury.
