Don't Despise the Reality of the Spirit


"It is precisely the world's mockery that will again and again be a sign that the Church is on the right road: It is a surer sign than the world's applause.  Where the Church retreats into invisibility, it despises the reality of the Spirit."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, cited by Paula Ervin in "Women Exploited: The Other Victims of Abortion," p.28
