One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.”

For this reason the Brethren have repeatedly stressed a 'back to basics' program for temporal and spiritual welfare.”
