Why church organization?

From the January 1982 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Have you ever tried to put out a fire of coals in the grate before going to bed? You separate the coals, spread them, and one by one they die down quickly. Contrariwise, if you want to get a fire started, put coals that might be slightly warm together, and soon the fire springs to life.

So it is with the human spirit. In fellowship and the unity of love our hearts are quickened. For the individual who claims he does not need church, the joy of spreading the gospel of Christ may soon die down.

Like the coals, the hearts of men and women attain the flame of spiritual dedication that radiates light for the world when they are brought together in unity.
