James K.A. Smith Quote

The body of Christ is that unique community of practice whose members own up to the fact that we don’t always love what we say we do—that the devices and desires of our hearts outstrip our best intentions. The practices of Christian worship are a tangible, practiced, re-formative way to address this tension and gap.
