Michael J. Gorman
“As the twentieth-century theologian Emil Brunner put it, “The Church exists by mission, just as a fire exists by burning. Where there is no mission there is no Church. . . .”24”
Michael J. Gorman, Becoming the Gospel: Paul, Participation, and Mission (The Gospel and Our Culture Series

Stanley Hauerwas
“If what you know no longer matters, the ministry cannot help but be another “helping profession” whose task is to attract people to church because of the appealing personality of the minister and the friendliness of the congregation.”
Stanley Hauerwas, The Work of Theology

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“I am beginning now to see how radically the character of my spiritual journey will change when I no longer think of God as hiding out and making it as difficult as possible for me to find him, but, instead, as the one who is looking for me while I am doing the hiding.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming

“The ordained minister, the one set aside and consecrated, is to illuminate the vocation of
the Church and the vocations of the many people who are the Church. That means that ordination is not exclusionary but exemplary."28”
L. Gregory Jones, Resurrecting Excellence: Shaping Faithful Christian Ministry

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“I used to be very fond of thinking up and buying presents, but now that we have nothing to give, the gift God gave us in the birth of Christ will seem all the more glorious; the emptier our hands, the better we understand what Luther meant by his dying words: “We’re beggars; it’s true.” The poorer our quarters, the more clearly we perceive that our hearts should be Christ’s home on earth. (Letter to fiancée Maria von Wedemeyer, December 1, 1943)”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas
