"We are now Christ’s representatives to each other, [but] I am I, and Christ is Christ…. If we forget this distinction, then… we are likely to give the impression that to accept Christ one must accept exactly and only the Christ and the version of his message that we model and teach. This promotes personal empire building, rather than Kingdom building. It leads people to ourselves, rather than to Jesus Christ."
— Thomas H. Groome, from Christian Religious Education: Sharing Our Story and Vision
