Loving Christian Dogma and believing its vital role in all teaching and preaching, I offer these two quotes from Dorothy Sayers. The truth she states is timeless. Enjoy!!!
“It is worse than useless for Christians to talk about the importance of Christian morality, unless they are prepared to take their stand upon the fundamentals of Christian theology. It is a lie to say that dogma does not matter; it matters enormously …. It is absolutely impossible to teach Christianity without teaching Christian dogma.”
“Theologically, this country is at present in a state of utter chaos, established in the name of religious toleration, and rapidly degenerating into the flight from reason and the death of hope. We are not happy in this condition and there are signs of a very great eagerness, especially among the younger people, to find a creed to which they can give wholehearted adherence …. The reason why the Churches are discredited today is not that they are too bigoted about theology, but that they have run away from theology.”
