Wikiquote:Quote of the day/February 29, 2016

 

The Church is indeed, in its real Intent,
An Assembly where Nothing but
Friendship is meant;
And the utter Extinction of Foeship and Wrath
By the Working of Love in the Strength of its Faith.
This gives it its holy and catholic Name,
And truly confirms its apostolic Claim;
Showing what the One Saviour's One Mission had been:
"Go and teach all the World," — every Creature therein.

In the Praise ever due to the Gospel of Grace
Its Universality holds the first Place.

~ John Byrom ~
