Mission Quotes

“We would like a church that again asserts that God, not nations, rules the world, that the boundaries of God's kingdom transcend those of Caesar, and that the main political task of the church is the formation of people who see clearly the cost of discipleship and are willing to pay the price.”

“God invites and God sends all of God's people. This is not a professional or clerical invitation. God's call to ordinary people undergirds all other work done in God's name. The core of everything else the Church does is peaceful human interconnectivity. Decisions about who will do what are marginal. The most important thing the Church does is hear God's voice of shalom. This calling finds its first home in ordinary people living ordinary lives.”

“Suffice it to say, the ecclesia, the community of peace, imagined on the Galilean seashore had changed. Like a pebble tossed in a pond with ever expanding ripples, the emergence of Christianity in the urban centers of the Roman Empire forced the Church to adopt new forms and structures for mission and ministry. Jesus’s movement became a thriving principality. At the close of the third century, an organized Church had replaced a disorganized but single-minded community on a mission of peace.”

“There is a growing disconnect between those who lead and the grass roots movements of lay mission and service. The Church remains mired in culture wars, wringing its hands over shrinking attendance, and trying to save itself by better budgeting in the wake of shrinking resources. The institutional Church of today struggles to sustain aging structures, repeatedly tries to force uniformity over unity, and desperately attempts to create diversity by legislation at conventions. The world has changed, and we are at a loss for how to respond.”

“God’s invitation to vocation also erodes the compartmentalization between our religious and professional lives. In the biblical worldview, the way of peace requires full participation. We cannot claim to be one person in one particular context or set of relations, and then a claim to be a totally different person in another context. There is no such thing as professional holy people. We live complete lives in continuity with God and our vocation is equally operative in every space we inhabit.”

“Before you embark upon this journey of your business’ vision and mission discovery, there are a few questions that you need to answer: Why are you in this business?

“The top performer at your company probably also lives this way. Their real mission and true purpose? Living in alignment with their visions and being driven to fulfill them. They are defined by their own behaviors, not by anyone else’s opinion of them. That quality, that ability to determine one’s own true north, is something that unites successful people across every sport, industry, and military unit I’ve ever seen.”

“La scienza vive di domande. Non ha risposte, se non perfettibili. Con un lavorio lento e paziente, allarga la chiazza di luce che è la conoscenza, alleviando le sofferenze materiali dell'umanità, rendendo le nostre vite più lunghe e confortevoli, le forme della vita associata più sofisticate ed efficaci. Ma non elimina l'oscurità. Più la chiazza di luce si allarga, più grande diventa, al contrario, il confine da cui ci si affaccia sul mistero. La scienza non è arrogante. Osserva e misura, azzarda spiegazioni e previsioni, fa errori e si corregge, ma abbraccia anche con lucidità limiti e incertezze. Rifiuta di accettare l'esistenza dell'inspiegabile, ma sa anche che la strada per la comprensione del tutto è forse così lunga che immaginarne la fine è un esercizio vano. Per chi sia tentato dalla presunzione di spiegare ogni cosa e dall'illusione di poter controllare la propria vita, il firmamento è un maestro che umilia e consola al tempo stesso. Forse come il rapporto con Dio per le persone religiose. Io non mi considero tale da molto tempo: la fede ricevuta in eredità non è sopravvissuta agli anni dell'adolescenza e oggi avrei difficoltà insormontabili a immaginare un Dio persona o una religione che non sia prodotto della storia umana. Non me ne rammarico. Ho fiducia nell'etica laica e nella vita ho visto virtù e meschinità distribuite grosso modo egualmente tra persone religiose o meno. Ma alle prime, questo si, invidio la facilità del contatto con il trascendente. Chi, come me, non frequenta chiese, sinagoghe, moschee o templi, dovrebbe se non altro frequentare con assiduità la volta celeste.”

“A clear mission statement describes the values and priorities of an organization. Developing a mission statement compels strategists to think about the nature and scope of present operations and to assess the potential attractiveness of future markets and activities. A mission statement broadly charts the future direction of an organization. A mission statement is a constant reminder to its employees of why the organization exists and what the founders envisioned when they put their fame and fortune at risk to breathe life into their dreams.”

“If the Edfu Texts contain a record of these events, as I have proposed, then we should take seriously the message they transmit, that there were survivors of the cataclysm who made it their mission to bring about: 'The resurrection of the former world of the gods. ... The re-creation of a destroyed world.' These survivors are said to have wandered the earth, setting out and building sacred mounds wherever they went, and teaching the fundamentals of civilization, including religion, agriculture, and architecture.”

“Delacorte Review Stories do not write themselves, much as writers may modestly insist they do. Stories exist because writers need to tell them—a need so deep that they will endure false starts, woeful sentences, dead-end paragraphs, two-dimensional characters, flabby prose, wrong turns, and shaky narratives. In short, they will risk all the things that, taken together, comprise the writer’s greatest fear: failure. Specifically, failing to tell the story they need to tell. Still, they persist. If the best fiction is propelled by imagination, we believe that the best narrative nonfiction is propelled by the relentless and often-lonely business of finding out things that are often maddeningly difficult to find. In a word: reporting. Nonfiction storytelling can be as compelling, riveting, and transporting as fiction—so long as you come back, as they say, with the goods. The Delacorte Review’s mission is discovery -- for readers to discover new, original works of ambitious narrative nonfiction. For writers to discover the stories they need to tell.”
