"When the church starts to be the
church, it will constantly be adventuring out into places where there are no
tried and tested ways. If the church in our day has few prophetic voices to
sound above the noises of the street, perhaps in large part it is because the
pioneering spirit has become foreign to it. It shows little willingness to
explore new ways. Where it does it has often been called an experiment. We
would say that the church of Christ is never an experiment, but wherever that
church is true to its mission it will be experimenting, pioneering, blazing new
paths, seeking how to speak the reconciling Word of God to its own age." ~ Elizabeth O'Connor (Call to Commitment)
