In light of the gospel reflection this week, my selections all come from Called to Community: The Life Jesus Wants for His People, edited by Charles E. Moore (Plough Publishing House, 2016).
-Marjory Z. Bankson, Seekers Church
“Every human wish dream that is injected into the Christian community is a hindrance to genuine community and must be banished if genuine community is to survive. He who loves his dream of community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial.”
–Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “Idealism,” Called to Community
