A Christian should be where Christ is. If Christ is not here, a Christian should not be here. That is why no one can find a Christ or a Christian in any particular set of rules…. He has left behind the grave clothes, namely, worldly justice, wisdom, piety, law and the like. …These are all grave clothes. He never puts on grave clothes nor can a Christian.
~Martin Luther
"There are many groups that have been formed to protect their own interests, to defend their own status, or to promote their own causes, but none of these is a Christian community." Henri J.M. Nouwen
