I immediately thought of you when I read this quote by R. Balmer from the Stone-Campbell Journal, 7 (2004):
If "suborn" is not a typo, I think he really does not think much of the institutional church!"...that institutions, be they ecclesiastical or educational, are remarkably poor guarantors of piety. Institutions inevitably serve themselves and eventually suborn themselves to the pressures of building programs and mortgages, parking lots and pension funds"
God bless, Homer
