Appetite for Christianity

When a people prays, there is the church, and where the church is; there is never loneliness.
                                                                ~
It is much easier for me to imagine a praying murdere, a praying prostitute, than a vain person prain. Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
                                                             ~~
The religion of Christ is not a tidbit after one's bread, on the contrary, it is the bread or it is nothing. People should at least understand and concede this if they call themselves Christian.
                                                             ~~
Christianity conceals within itself a germ hostil to the church.
                                                                              -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
