Quotes by Lesslie Newbigin (?)

“The relativism which is not willing to speak about truth but only about 鈥榳hat is true for me鈥� is an evasion of the serious business of living. It is the mark of a tragic loss of nerve in our contemporary culture. It is a preliminary symptom of death.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society

“When the Church tries to embody the rule of God in the forms of earthly power it may achieve that power, but it is no longer a sign of the kingdom.”

The relationship between the two cannot be reversed. ”
