“If we are to follow visions, we cannot be over concerned with what the church is not doing. The very word “vision” implies grace—that which is not seen by ordinary eyes. The following of a vision, therefore, means a willingness to be out alone in a strange land, confident that God keeps us company there and with faith that one day another will join us and then another, and a vision can be clothed, which means for all to see.”
–Elizabeth O’Connor, Call to Commitment: An Attempt to Embody the Essence of Church, pg. 87
