Os GuinnessThere is no problem with the wider culture that you cannot see in the spades in the Christian Church. The rot is in us, and not simple out there. And Christians are making a great mistake by turning everything into culture wars. It's a much deeper crisis.
About This Quote
The church has been a great stabilizing force in a world that is increasingly unstable. Yet the church, for all its good works, has failed to address the underlying causes of violence and unrest. We have done a good job of creating a world where everything is going to hell, but we have not been able to solve the problems that have created that world. We are failing to address the root cause of the problem. We are not managing our own internal conflicts, and therefore we are unable to address the larger issues around us.
