The Priest Is Christ's Slave, And Christ Himself Took The Form Of A Slave And Became Obedient To Death. So The Priest In Serving Human Needs Lives A Godward Life, Possessed By God And Witnessing That Only When Lives Are Utterly Possessed By God Do They Find Their True Freedom.

Times Have Changed Since George Herbert... But The Principle And Spirit In Which He Ministered As A Priest Remains An Inspiration And Model For All Priests.

Times Have Changed

The Evil Of The Church Is The Doing Of Church Work In A Spirit Of Business, Something To Be Got Through. The Only Way To Avoid This Is For The Priest To Be Instant In Prayer. If He Is Not, He Will Lose That Touch Of The Supernatural, Without Which He Has No Right To Be A Priest At All.
