“The work of Jesus was not a new set of ideals<br />
or principles for reforming or even revolutionizing society,<br />
but the establishment of a new community,<br />
a people that embodied forgiveness,<br />
sharing and self-sacrificing love in its rituals and discipline.<br />
In that sense, the visible church is not<br />
to be the bearer of Christ’s message, but to be the message.”<br />
—Stanley Hauerwas<br />
