Birth Quote by Gabriel Fackre
“The work of the Spirit is the bringing to be of the vision of God…the capacitating of persons to 'see visions' and 'dream dreams'. … The birth of the Church is the beginning of the End. … The Kingdom of God as the miracle of ocular newness when 'the blind see' makes its impact on history in the creation of a visionary community . [[The tongues were]] the language of the world to come... Therefore in this birth of the Church, the risen and ascended Lord takes to himself a Body on earth with eyes opened by the Spirit to see the future.”
