"There is in the church no association, according to the usual formula, whereby a sociological institution may also be the body of Christ, or the body of Christ may be forcibly put in sociological forms. Once the church organizes and clericalizes itself, it is intrinsically a transgression of God's order." (Jacques Ellul - The Subversion of Christianity. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans. 1986. pg. 211.)

"The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose. (C. S. Lewis - Mere Christianity. Macmillan Publishing. 1978. pgs. 169,170)
