Quotes by Cynthia Bourgeault (?)

“Jesus never asked anyone to form a church, ordain priests, develop elaborate rituals and institutional cultures, and splinter into denominations. His two great requests were that we 鈥渓ove one another as I have loved you鈥� and that we share bread and wine together as an open channel of that interabiding love.”
