Christian Congregation

Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or congregation:

    Slavery is no more sinful, by the Christian code, than it is sinful to wear a whole coat, while another is in tatters, to eat a better meal than a neighbor, or otherwise to enjoy ease and plenty, while our fellow creatures are suffering and in want.
    James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    re-enact at the vestry-glass
    Each pulpit gesture in deft dumb-show
    That had moved the congregation so.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
