“If contemporary Christians took seriously the possibility that those outside the boundaries of the church might hold the promise of renewal, if we ceased regarding ourselves as the source of salvation and the secular world as a potential threat, and if we emulated Jesus' example in accepting the faith and the courage of those who live beyond conventional standards of purity, well, I can hardly imagine how things would look.”

“In their own historical contexts, in their own times and places, people knew Jesus and his earliest followers as sinners. That is, Jesus and the first generations of Christians frequently violated conventional social norms. What is more, they provoked hostility, sometimes violence, as a result.”
