Christendom has done away with Christianity without being quite aware of it. Soren Kierkegaard
I read that line in Neil Cole's Organic Church the day after getting an email from a friend. The email included a link to a news story about a massive church split in Florida -- the split was over "style, not substance" and there were big names involved. The friend said, "it's reading stuff like this that makes me never want to participate in a church again." If the outward forms and man-centered expressions of Christendom were all there was to "church" I'd agree wholeheartedly!
