"The purpose of Christian formation is not developing a better self-image, achieving self-fulfillment or finding self-affiramtion; nor is it the development of individualistic qualities that make singularly outstanding saints. Rather, it is developing certain qualities that enable us to live responsibility within the community that we have been baptized into to." - Simon Chan
"Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this. Whether it be a brief, single encounter or the daily fellowship of years, Christian community is only this. We belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ." -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
