The church

Charles Morrison was a British journalist and biographer. His famous saying about the church summarizes the paradox that the church consists of those who, in order to follow Christ, have first to acknowledge their own sin and therefore their unworthiness to be his followers.

The Church is a society of sinners – the only society in the

world in which membership is based upon the single

qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of

membership.

Charles C Morrison (1838–1923)
