The faith of a church or of a nation is an adequate faith only when it inspires and enables people to give of their time and energy to shape the various institutions -- social, economic, and political -- of the common life.

  • -- James Luther Adams 詹姆斯·路德·亚当斯

只有当一个教会或一个国家的信仰能够激励和使人们奉献出他们的时间和精力来塑造共同生活的各种制度——社会、经济和政治制度时,它才是一种充分的信仰。
