“We who formerly treasured money and possessions more than anything else now hand everything we have to a treasury for all and share it with everyone who needs it. We who formerly hated and murdered one another…now live together and share the same table. Now we pray for our enemies and try to win those who hate us.”
Justin Martyr (103-165), in Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2010) 375.
