Quote

"At the very core of Christian identity lies an all-encompassing change of loyalty, from a given culture with its gods to the God of all cultures ... Consider, ... the foundation of Christian community, the cross. Christ unites different 'bodies' into one body, not simply in virtue of the singleness of his person ('one leader - one people') or of his vision ('one principle or law - one community'), but above all through his suffering."
- Exclusion and Embrace (Miroslav Volf)
