Apart from the resurrection of Jesus, the eschatological orientation of the church appears as the spoke of a wheel without a hub.
H. Richard NiebuhrThe great Christian revolutions came not by the discovery of something that was not known before. They happen when someone takes radically something that was always there.
H. Richard NiebuhrThe way to the organic, active peace of brotherhood leads through the hearts of peacemakers who will knit together, with patience and self-sacrifice, the shorn and tangled fibers of human aspirations, faith, and hopes, who will transcend the fears and dangers of an adventure of trust. The road to unity is the road of repentance.
