" The theme of this book is that the Christian churches will succeed or fail according to the vigor and imaginative activity of the local parish community. "

" In calmer times, the parish was taken for granted as a place to come to take care of one's spiritual needs. "

" In these times, the relevance of the churches depends on the ability to reach out into the neighborhoods, doing the work of justice and mercy, and making the Christian message pertinent and moving in people's lives. "
