“The church isn't simply a collection of isolated individuals ...
we need to learn again the lesson that a hand is no less a hand for being
part of a larger whole, an entire body. The foot is not diminished in its freedom
to be a foot by being part of a body which also contains eyes and ears.
In fact, hands and feet are most free to be themselves when they coordinate properly
with eyes, ears, and everything else. Cutting them off in an effort to make them
truly free, truly themselves, would be truly disastrous.”

― N.T. Wright, theologian,
