Quote of the moment: Richard Halverson, chaplain of the U.S. Senate

“In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece, where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome, where it became an institution. Next, it moved to Europe, where it became a culture. And, finally, it moved to America, where it became an enterprise.”

– Richard Halverson, former Chaplain of the United States Senate

At least, P. M. Summer claims Halverson said it, and I trust him.  Tip of the old scrub brush to P. M. Summer, at Una Perla, Por Favor.
