Quotes by Emily C. Heath  (?)

“if you have something capable of lighting up your whole house, why would you ever want to hide that light? The only logical thing to do is to place it in the center of your home, so that everything will be transformed by its light. At its brightest, that light will fill not just our homes, but the world as well.”
Emily C. Heath, Glorify: Reclaiming the Heart of Progressive Christianity

“when they’ve taken some time and then told me about their thoughts, at the core of nearly every answer is this: a sense that God has something more in store for us. We’ve already talked about purpose, and about glorifying God. But what does that mean in practice? And”

Instead, progressive Christianity must help seekers to fall in love with Scripture. We must teach ways in which Scripture can both be read with twenty-first-century eyes and yet also be cherished as timeless. Scripture”
