a few quotes for today

"The spontaneous expansion of the Church reduced to its elements is a very simple thing. It asks for no elaborate organization, no large finances, no great numbers of paid missionaries. In its beginning it may be the work of one man, and that a man neither of learned things of this world, nor rich in the wealth of this world...what is necessary is faith. What is needed is the kind of faith which, uniting a man to Christ, sets him on fire." - Roland Allen The Compulsion of the Spirit

"We can only live the changes: we cannot think our way to humanity. Every one of us, every group, must become the model of that which we desire to create." - Ivan Illich

"The greatest proof of Christianity for others is not how far a man can logically analyze his reasons for believing, but how far in practice he will stake his life on his belief. - T.S. Eliot
