A quote for your reflection and comment:

"The scandal of the church is that the Christ-event is no longer life-changing, it has become life-enhancing. We've lost the power and joy that makes real disciples and become consumers of religion and not disciples of Jesus Christ.

It would be fantastic if people not only said of Jesus Christ, 'What sort of man is this?' but said of his followers, 'What sort of people are they?' "

Dr. John Sentamu, the recently enthroned first black Archbishop of York
