“A life together under the Word will stay healthy only when it does not form itself into a movement, an order, a society… but instead understands itself as being part of the one, holy, universal, Christian church, sharing through its deeds and suffering in the hardships and struggles and promise of the whole church.”

“When pastors lose faith in a Christian community in which they have been placed and make accusations against it, they had better examine themselves- whether the problem is not their own idealized image, which should be shattered by God… Let them ask for an understanding of… their particular sin, and pray that they may not wrong other Christians. Let [them] make intercession for those charged to their care.”
