Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The Church is a church of sinners, but also a source of forgiveness, where one can get help and be cleansed. They [the early Christians] used to compare it to a hospital, where Christ gathered all who were hopelessly sick and saved them from a certain death. -- Bishop Bo Giertz, *To Live With Christ* p. 452

Bo Giertz counts as old?

In my "old Lutheran" category I count anyone who has rested from their earthly labors.
