"I am constrained to say that I believe at this very hour one of the secrets of arrest, and one of the reasons for the condition of things in the Christian Church that is troubling us in many ways, is the aloofness of the Christian Church from sinning men and women. We still build our sanctuaries, and set up our standards, and institute our arrangements, and say to the sinning ones: if you will come to us, we will help you!"
- G.C. Morgan
From commentary on Mark 2:15-17 when Jesus was accused of making friendly with sinners.
This was a problem in the late 19th - early 20th century and STILL IS TODAY.
