Nothing is more needed among preachers today than that we should have the courage to shake ourselves free from the thousand and one trivialities in which we are asked to waste our time and strength, and resolutely return to the apostolic ideal which made necessary the office of the pastorate. (We must resolve that) we will continue steadfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the Word.

G. Campbell Morgan (1863–1945), Prediger

G. Campbell Morgan

George Campbell Morgan (1863–1945) war ein englischer Prediger, Evangelist und Bibellehrer, der vor allem durch seinen langjährigen Dienst an der Londoner Westminster Chapel sowie durch Vortragsreisen in den USA bekannt wurde. Er prägte die methodisch genaue, fortlaufende Auslegungspredigt und vertrat ein schriftzentriertes Bibelverständnis, während er sich im Fundamentalismusstreit der 1920er-Jahre von polemischen Abspaltungen distanzierte. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine zahlreichen Kommentare und Predigtreihen ein textnahes, analytisches Schriftstudium mit praxisnaher pastoraler Ausrichtung.

I rejected the church for a time because I found so little grace there. I returned because I found grace nowhere else.

There is no perfect church. And besides, dear friend, if you ever found a perfect church, it would refuse to take you in. For as soon as it had taken you in, it would cease to be perfect. So your search is entirely useless.

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
