Spiritual Quote of the Day (Robert A. Nisbet, on Secularism and ‘The Decline of Community’)

“The loss of the sense of the visible community of Christ will be followed by the loss of the sense of the invisible. The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable consequence the creation of a mass of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as a creed."—American sociologist Robert A. Nisbet (1913-1996), The Quest for Community: A Study in the Ethics of Order and Freedom (1953)
