"We really do experience in ourselves, at the same time as the power of Christ, the power of the cross to create community. Yet we also find in ourselves everything that goes against community, and have to be completely aware of this fact. We are and we are not communal people... We are also weak and selfish, and there is in us this sturggle between trust and mistrust, where we all believe and don't believe... You cannot possibly live a religious life realistically unless you realize that this is going on all the time." ~ Eberhold Arnold, "Why We Live In Community", p 46
