Role of the Church

Excerpt from M. Lunn’s 1,500 Inspirational Quotes and Illustrations:

“I was hungry…and you formed a humanities club and you discussed my hunger. Thank you.

I was imprisoned…and you crept off quietly to your chapel in the cellar to pray for my release.

I was naked…and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance.

I was sick…and you knelt and thanked God for your health.

I was homeless…and you preached to me of the spiritual shelter of the love of God.

I was lonely…and you left me alone to pray for me.

You seem so holy, so close to God. But I’m still very hungry…and lonely…and cold.”
