Frederick Buechner Quotes

The Congregation Just Sat Or Stood On The Sidelines Watching The Splendor Of It But Without, As Far As My Experience Went Anyway, Having Any Very Satisfactory Part In It. I Felt Like A Child With His Nose Pressed To A Bakery Shop Window - Impressed By What I Saw But A Little Lonely And Unnourished. The Sermon, On The Other Hand, Was One That I Will Long Remember. It Was Preached By A Huge Monk In Cloth Of Gold, And His Point Was That There Are Many People In This World Who Do Not Realize How Impoverished They Are Spiritually. "Even A Dog Knows When It Is Uncomfortable" Was A Phrase He Used, But We Whose Spiritual Discomfort Is Apt To Be So Profound Are In Many Cases Entirely Unaware Of It.
