What is necessary?


‘The spontaneous expansion of the Church reduced to its elements is a very simple thing. It asks for no elaborate organization, no large finances, no great numbers of paid missionaries. In its beginning it may be the work of one man, and that a man neither learned in the things of the world, nor rich in the wealth of the world…..What is necessary is faith. What is needed is the kind of faith which uniting a man to Christ, sets him on fire’

Roland Allen, The Compulsion of the Spirit (The Forgotten Ways, Hirsh, Page 84)
