I Think They [ Monastic Folks ]

With The Early Christians You Couldn't Have God As Your Father Unless You Have The Church As Your Mother. This Isn't Accepting The Church As A Perfect Thing.

The Future Of The Church Is Also About Looking Back And Looking At Where We See These Wonderful Renewals And What We Can Learn From The Early Church.

When We Ask God To Move A Mountain, God May Give Us A Shovel.
