A
conversion is incomplete if it does not leave one with an intense social
consciousness, if it does not fill one with a sense of overwhelming
responsibility for the world. It has
been said... truly that the Church exists for those outside of itself. The Church must never be in any sense a
little huddle of pious people, shutting their doors against the world, lost in
prayer and praise, connoisseurs of preaching and liturgy, busy mutually
congratulating themselves on the excellence of their Christian experience.

It really doesn't make sense otherwise. I had a good friend who used to say, "Your faith can be personal, but it can NEVER be private."
