QUOTABLES

Christian community…is not an extra “religious” layer on social life. The church is not a club for religious people.  The Church is a way of living together before God, a new way of being human together.

- Peter Leithart in Against Christianity

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.  We are far too easily pleased.
- C.S. Lewis in The Weight of Glory

It is possible, as I have learned again and again, to be in one's place, in such company, wild or domestic, and with such pleasure, that one cannot think of another place that one would prefer to be - or of another place at all.

- Wendell Berry
