“Without the Holy Spirit, God is far away,
Christ remains in the past,
the Gospel is a dead letter,
the Church is a simple organisation,
authority a domination,
mission a propaganda,
worship mere evocation,
and Christian action a slave morality.
But in the Spirit…
the Risen Christ is present,
the Gospel is the power of life,
the Church signifies Trinitarian communion,
authority is a liberating service,
mission is a Pentecost,
the liturgy is memorial and anticipation,
human activity is deified”.
Patriarch Athenagoras
