"the church and it's gospel throw into question the agenda of the world-all the agendas of the world-and open the world to possibilities of which it has never dared to dream. When the church dares to be different, it models for the world what God calls the church to become." (Richard John Neuhaus)
Read this in "Unfashionable" by Tullian Tchividjian, where he closes this chapter with a great phrase describing the church, calling it 'God's Demonstration Community'
Reminds me of the phrase I live to spread around, that the church is 'God's living and local presence'
