“The power of the Church is not a parade of flawless people, but of a flawless Christ who embraces our flaws. The Church is not made up of the whole people, rather of the broken people who find wholeness in a Christ who was broken for us.” … Mike Yaconelli (1942-2003), The Door, Issues 139-150, Youth Specialties, 1995, p. 36
