"O God, make the door of this church wide enough
to receive all who need human love and fellowship, narrow enough
to shut out all envy, pride, and strife. Make its threshold smooth
enough to be no stumbling-block to children, nor to straying feet,
but rugged and strong enough to turn back the tempter's power.
Make the door of this church the gateway to your eternal kingdom.
Amen." (Thomas Ken, 1637-1711) |
