“We would like a church that again asserts that God,
not nations, rules the world, that the boundaries of God's
kingdom transcend those of Caesar, and that the main
political task of the church is the formation of people
who see clearly the cost of discipleship
and are willing to pay the price.”
― Stanley Hauerwas, theologian
