The Church must be seen as the company of pilgrims on the way to the end of the world and the ends of the earth.

The church is not meant to call men and women out of the world into a safe religious enclave but to call them out in order to send them back as agents of God's kingship.

A society which believes in a worthwhile future saves in the present so as to invest in the future. Contemporary Western society spends in the present and piles up debts for the future, ravages the environment, and leaves its grandchildren to cope with the results as best they can.

Christ is the clue to all that is.

It is less important to ask a Christian what he or she believes about the Bible than it is to inquire what he or she does with it.

God's grace is not limited by any ecclesiastical barriers.

It has never at any time been possible to fit the resurrection of Jesus into any world view except a world view of which it is the basis.
