“We cannot avoid the globalization of knowledge and information. When I was a boy growing up in Kansas, I could never think about a Buddhist, or a Hindu, or Muslim, or even a Protestant - I grew up in such a Catholic ghetto.

“If the churches ever did reunite, it would have to be into something that was as sacramental and liturgical and authoritative as the Roman Catholic Church and as protesting against abuses and as much focused on the individual in his direct relationship with Christ as the Evangelicals, as charismatic as the Pentecostals, as missionary-minded as the old mainline denominations, as focused on holiness as the Methodists or the Quakers, as committed to the social aspects of the Gospel as the social activists, as Biblical as fundamentalists, and as mystical as the Eastern Orthodox.” IfsIndividualSocialChristChurchAspectDirectAbuseCatholicCommittedFocusedHolinessOrthodoxActivistMissionaryBiblicalMysticalEasternCatholic ChurchCharismaticDenominationsQuakerRoman CatholicMethodistsRoman Catholic Church Author:Peter Kreeft
