Mark Twain
“Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals.”
Mark Twain

“It is rare to find an established community of Christians that encourages radical expressions of following Jesus. The natural conservatism of institutions is deeply rooted in the desire to survive, and that desire colors and limits the way they read the Bible and how they see God functioning in the world.”
Michael Spencer, Mere Churchianity: Finding Your Way Back to Jesus-Shaped Spirituality
