The evil of the ordsprog

en The evil of the Church is the doing of Church work in a spirit of business, something to be got through. The only way to avoid this is for the priest to be instant in prayer. If he is not, he will lose that touch of the supernatural, without which he has no right to be a priest at all.

en When we'd go to church, my mother would say, 'Ask the priest your questions.' And the priest was quite indulgent, ... Often he'd say, 'We haven't figured that out yet, my boy.' When I heard that, I was free, I was overjoyed -- I could create [my own] answers.

en There is a kind of thinking in the Church that wants to reduce the priest to a mere functionary, a managing director, where administration rather than doctrine and worship are to determine the form of the Church.

en Church isn’t where you meet. Church isn’t a building. Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let’s not go to Church, let’s be the Church.

en But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days: / And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

en It was church, totally church. Even with all of the reporters they flew in, it turned from a recording session to a church service. The spirit was there. The anointing was there. The clapping was there. The shouting was there.

en As a priest, / A piece of mere church furniture at best.
  William Cowper

en We'll be the 'Church Backfield.' Priest will pray over them and I'll bury them.

en Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest
  Émile Zola

en And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye? / And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel? / And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.

en There's perceptions about the church - some of which are the fault of the church - that there's a right and a wrong, and we are right and avoid the wrong. I think we've seen a change of heart. Today the church is about the people.

en I was going to church on a regular basis, practicing my faith, and I saw how busy and worn out my pastor was, ... And [I] wondered what would it be like to be a priest.
