I Imagine …\n\nA church where people proudly own the name Christian outside its walls\nand proudly act as Christians inside its walls\n\nWhere people proudly give as Christians should\nand proudly serve as Christians should\n\nA church that is not\nawash with mediocrity\nor with sameness done well\n\nA church that does not\nreward competence in mediocre service\nand punish outrageous but courageous failure\n\nBut a church where courage\nand enterprise\nare second nature\n\nAnd the greatest aspiration\ncollectively and personally\nis to serve God\nin the world\nwith all the pride\nand confidence\nof those who live as children of the King.
