"That we should ever meet the redeeming power of God in the humble stuff of congregations is witness to the extraordinary nature of both...Yet this is what we claim. We make this claim on the basis of reason and sacred text, but mostly because, time and again, so many have been bathed in redemption through God's reach in and through congregations." (Dunlap, 6)
I just wanted to share this because I was so moved by it. Too often church people get together to bash and complain about the church. How often do we sit and marvel at the powerful claims we make about those communities, not to mention the transformative work they continue to do.
