Imagine a church...

From time to time I come across a succinct, meaningful portrait of Christ's church as it might be and can be. Here is one I found recently.

Imagine a church...

That couldn't sing without feeding the poor,

Nor feed the poor without nourishment from the eucharist,

Nor pass the peace without living peaceably in the world,

Nor be peacemakers without depending on prayer,

Nor pray without joining in robust song.
