The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary human life, not dominating, but helping and serving.

The great masquerade of evil has played havoc with all our ethical concepts. For evil to appear disguised as light, charity, historical necessity, or social justice is quite bewildering to anyone brought up on our traditional ethical concepts, while for the Christian who bases his life on the Bible, it merely confirms the fundamental wickedness of evil.

The Church is the Church only when it exists for others.

What we are in ourselves, and what we owe to others makes us a complete whole.

I discovered later, and I'm still discovering right up to this moment, that is it only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith. By this-worldliness I mean living unreservedly in life's duties, problems, successes and failures. In so doing we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God, taking seriously, not our own sufferings, but those of God in the world. That, I think, is faith.

the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.

Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.
