The Call of the Church To Live in Love
November 20, 2006, 10:30 AM | Witness
The validity of our witness to society, including the critical address to the state and the statesman, hangs on the firmness with which the church keeps her central message at the center: her call to every man to turn to God and her call to those who have turned to God to live in love.
If she fails to keep this call to personal commitment at the center of her life and work, her prophetic witness to society is either utopianism or demagoguery.
