United Church

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or church:

“We begin with friendships, and all our youth is a reconnoitering and recruiting of the holy fraternity they shall combine for the salvation of men. But so the remoter stars seem a nebula of united light, yet there is no group which a telescope will not resolve; and the dearest friends are separated by impassable gulfs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I believe that in this country the press exerts a greater and a more pernicious influence than the church did in its worst period.”
