Fascinating quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer I read last week...
With that we have articulated a basic criticism of the most grandiose of all human attempts to advance toward the divine-by way of the church. Christianity conceals within itself a germ hostile to the church. It is far too easy for us to base our claims to God on our own Christian religiosity and our church commitment, and in doing so misunderstand and distort the Christian idea.
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer, quoted in Bonhoeffer, pg. 84)
