--Martin Buber
...there exists in every church something that sooner or later works against the very purpose for which it came into existence. So we must strive very hard, by the grace of God to keep the church focused on the mission that Christ originally gave to it.
--C.S. Lewis

Good quotations. Do you have the sources? Or are you gleaning these from some larger work?
The Buber is quoted from Maurice Friedman's, Martin Buber, The Life of Dialogue.
The Lewis is quoted from W. Vaus' Mere Theology, A Guide to the Thought of C.S. Lewis.
I ran across both while reading Alan Hirsch's The Forgotten Ways, Reactivating the Missional Church. Good read thus far.
Yeah, Lewis on "mission"...good stuff. Does Vaus give a reference for the Lewis quotation? I'm guessing it's a letter....
Oh how I wish more people read things like this. The good feelings I get upon reading them are soon smotherd by the harsh reality of so many not holding to the firm bellief of the origional mission of the body.
