"I am constantly amazed at how threatened ecclesiastical representatives are when they confront the fact that the words they use to tell heir faith-story simply no longer communicate meaningfully in the world of today’s experience. Getting angry, being hostile, acting defensively, and engaging in the diverting attacks on extraneous issues are responses more symptomatic of the problem than they seem to realize."
