Quotes by Avery Dulles  (?)

“But this could be interpreted primarily in terms of the ministry of word and sacrament, in accordance with the previous models of the Church, rather than in terms of caritative service.”
Avery Dulles, Models of the Church

“In the first of these senses, neither Christ nor the Christian is supposed to be the world’s servant. Jesus is obedient, not to the world but to the Father. He is the servant of God, not of men, and we too are called to be servants of God.”
Avery Dulles, Models of the Church

“Pursued alone, any single model will lead to distortions. It will misplace the accent, and thus entail consequences that are not valid.”
Avery Dulles, Models of the Church
