Left to ourselves we lapse into a kind of
collusion with entropy, acquiescing in the general belief that things may be
getting worse but that there’s nothing much we can do about them. And we are wrong. Our task in the present… is to live as
resurrection people in between Easter and the final day, with our Christian
life, corporate and individual, in both worship and mission, as a sign of the
first and a foretaste of the second.

and the
Mission of the Church
