"The church has withheld the compassion it owes to the despised and rejected; the church has not resisted strongly enough the misuse of Christ for political ends; the church has coveted security, tranquility, prosperity to which it has no claim."
(Jennifer McBride, in her recent The Church for the World: A Theology of Public Witness, adapting Dietrich Bonhoeffer for a model for the church as a public witness leading through confession unto repentance).
