“that Christianity should be equated in the public mind, inside as well as outside the Church, with ‘organized religion’ merely shows how far we have departed from the New Testament. For the last thing the Church exists to be is an organization for the religious. Its charter is to be the servant of the world.”
John A. T. Robinson, Honest to God

Diana Butler Bass
“Whereas militant Christianity triumphs over all, generative Christianity transforms the world through humble service to all. It is not about victory; it is about following Christ in order to seed human community with grace.”
Diana Butler Bass, A People's History of Christianity: The Other Side of the Story

Barbara Brown Taylor
“The great wisdom traditions of the world all recognize that the main impediment to living a life of meaning is being self-absorbed.”
Barbara Brown Taylor, An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith

Alexander J. Shaia
“when our inner selves convert distinctions into a perceived right to diminish others, we are not on a holy path. We are submitting to the mighty enticements of the third temptation, and we are serving the tempter. God, whom we seek and serve, does not devalue our differences. God holds us all as equally beloved.”
Alexander John Shaia, Heart and Mind: The Four-Gospel Journey for Radical Transformation

Diana Butler Bass
“Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal. —John F. Kennedy”
Diana Butler Bass, Grounded: Finding God in the World-A Spiritual Revolution
