The Plugged-in Pastor

Thought for the Day

The welfare of the few gained at the expense of the many cannot be ethical…[T]he primitive vision of the Christian Church in the New Testament…is: “The gift that is given to me is given to be given.” It’s not given to be hoarded. It’s given so that surveying the environment I’m in, I find where that gift is needed.  And I give it.

—Rowan Williams

 

 

Thought for the Day

We mostly spend [our] lives conjugating three verbs: to Want, to Have, and to Do…forgetting that none of these verbs have any ulitmate significance, except so far as they are transcended by and included in the fundamental verb, to Be.

—Evelyn Underhill
