Notable quotes

“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous...Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.”
— 1 Timothy 3:2-9.
“A priest is a man who is called Father by everyone except his own children, who are obliged to call him Uncle.”
— Supposedly an Italian proverb, quoted by Rupert Hart-Davis in a letter dated July 15, 1956; cited from The Lyttelton Hart-Davis Letters vols. 1 and 2 (London: Murray, 1985) p. 162.
“They seem to know no medium between a mitre and a crown of martyrdom. If the clergy are not called to the latter, they never deviate from the pursuit of the former. One would think their motto was, Canterbury or Smithfield.”
— Horace Walpole Memoirs of the Reign of King George the Second (London: Colburn, 1847) vol. 3, p. 114.
“I find on inquiring among successful pastors, successful in the sense of winning men to Christ in profession, that they depend largely on personal contact.”
— D. A. Goodsell, p. 413.
“I do not envy a clergyman's life as an easy life, nor do I envy the clergyman who makes it an easy life.”
— Samuel Johnson, p. 411.
“He that would speak Divine things in a language which living men of to-day can comprehend, must keep up with the researches and discoveries of men who study nature, and put her words into the speech of the present.”
— John Heyl Vincent, p. 414.
