The Church must trust the Gospel enough to come among the poor with nothing to offer the poor except the Gospel, except the power to discern and the courage to expose the Gospel as it is already mediated in the life of the poor…When the Church has the freedom itself to be poor among the poor, it will know how to use what riches it has. When the Church has that freedom, it will know also how to minister among the rich and powerful. When the Church has that freedom, it will be a missionary people again in all the world. When the Church has the freedom to go out into the world with merely the Gospel to offer the world, then it will know how to use whatever else it has–money and talent and buildings and tapestries and power in politics–as sacraments of its gift of its own life to the world, as tokens of the ministry of Christ.” -William Stringfellow (HT to Nate Spencer) Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:44:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 http://www.boarsheadtavern.com/archives/2007/02/10/1248748.html#comment-19983 internetmonk.com » Blog Archive » Five Reasons + Two Resources Sat, 10 Feb 2007 18:06:05 +0000 http://www.boarsheadtavern.com/archives/2007/02/10/1248748.html#comment-19983 [...] Here are some thoughts on “honesty” is this entire discussion.
