"Christianity" - *Albion* - 09-30-2008

Father Alexander Men (1935 - 1990), an advocate of church renewal who was close to the dissent movement in Russia and was assassinated. In one of his talks, he spoke out directly against an exaggerated emphasis upon the past: "Christ calls people to bring the divine ideal to reality. Only short-sighted people imagine that Christianity has already happened, that it took place, say in the thirteenth century, or the fourth, or some other time. I would say that it has only made the first hesitant steps in the history of the human race. Many words of Christ are incomprehensible to us even now, because we are still Neanderthals in spirit and morals; because the arrow of the Gospels is aimed at eternity; because the history of Christianity is only beginning. What has happened already, what we now call the history of Christianity, are the first half-clumsy, unsuccessful attempts to make it a reality."

Some people confuse true "Christianity" with Churchianity...I wonder if Mari P.E.A.C.E. will help to show them the difference...
