Community and Worship

Douglas V. Steere

5/5 ( ratings)

Several years ago when the Florida authorities asked the man who tried to assassinate President Roosevelt whether he belonged to a church, he replied, “No, no, I belong to nothing. I belong only to myself, and I suffer.”

These pitiful words express the pain in the hearts of a vast number of modern men and women: they belong only to themselves, and they suffer. Often enough they are nominal members of a church, a family, or some other organization; yet they have never experienced genuine participation in a religious community which, by dispossessing them of themselves, could free them to belong to life.

Where can these people find a community of men and women and children, of all ages and of many different callings, who are under active treatment by a spirit that is releasing them from themselves, and how can they come into direct contact both with the releasing Agent Himself and with the health-giving atmosphere of such a company?
