"Do you cherish that of God within you, that his power growing in you may rule your life? Do you seek to follow Jesus who shows us the Father and teaches us the Way?" (Christian Faith & Practice, London Yearly Meeting, 1960)
Re Chambers take on the role of the missionary I can only say that it doesn't speak to me. I believe rather than Jesus means us to heal the sick, feed the hungry, etc. What do you think?
Every one who calls himself a Christian is a missionary. The confusion comes in when we think missionary is a 'profession'. We are all healers. We can heal a person 'from' the illness, or 'in' the illness. Feeding the hungry.. both food ( physical) and feeding the soul ( spiritual. When Christianity becomes a way of life rather than a religion, it has meaning.
