Never trust a theologian who doesn't have a sense of humor.

No vital Christianity is possible unless at least three aspects of it are developed. These are the inner life of devotion, the outer life of service, and the intellectual life of rationality.

If the average church should suddenly take seriously the notion that every lay member man or woman is really a minister of Christ, we could have something like a revolution in a very short time.

We need to be agnostics first and then there is some chance at arriving at a sensible system of belief.

The more we study the early Church, the more we realize that it was a society of ministers. About the only similarity between the Church at Corinth and a contemporary congregation, either Roman Catholic or Protestant, is that both are marked, to a great degree, by the presence of sinners.

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
