“Christian community is the place where we keep the flame of hope aliveamong us and take it seriously so that it can grow and become stronger in us.”
~ Henri Nouwen

One of the principle rules of religion is to lose no occasion of serving God. And since God is invisible to our eyes, we are to serve God in our neighbor; which is received as if done to the divine presence in person, standing visibly before us.

— John Wesley (Modernized)
