With the blasphemies of hybris, power-worship, envy and humbug, for these are the roots of evil. And in particular, our own Church will have to take a strong line She must tell men, whatever their calling, what it means to live in Christ, to exist for others.
She must take her part in the social life of the world, not lording it over men, but helping and serving them. The clergy should live solely on the free-will offerings of their congregations, or possibly engage in some secular calling. As a fresh start she should give away all her endowments to the poor and needy.
Such an unfortunate article, a complete miss on the authorship of Wendell Berry.ĭo you agree with Bonhoeffer when pressed into reality of living out his beliefs in prison that he believed and wrote that the beginning for the church was “The Church is her true self only when she exists for humanity. I ran across this article in googling Wendell Berry.
