"There are, have been, and will be tellers of dangerous stories of joy. Those who have been gifted and burdened with the paradoxical authority of pastoral office are servants of the Word, servers at the table, bound by the unique mystery of Christ and God’s history of salvation. The telling of these mysteries, this history, is located in the particular times and places of worshiping congregations."
— Heather Murray Elkins, “Altar-ing the World: Community-forming Word and Worship,” in Preaching in the Context of Worship, ed. David M. Greenshaw and Ronald J. Allen (St. Louis, MO: Chalice Press, 2000), 19.
