[1]  Bosch  1994: 385. "It had become fashionable to disparage the churches-as-they-exist-in-history.  People lost confidence
			in the church."

[3]  Bosch  1994: 386. "The church gathers to praise God, to enjoy fellowship and receive spiritual sustenance, and 
			disperses to serve God wherever its members are."

[9]  Thomas 1995: 91.  "To speak of God's action in the contemporary world is to raise the problem of  Christus  extra  muros 
			ecclesiae - of Christ outside the walls of the Church.   We cannot confine  the  divine  activity  to 
			ecclesiastical activity, we also have to recognize that the event of Christ has  irreversibly changed 
			the world, and we have therefore to seek traces of this among [persons] who may  have  little  or  no 
			connexion[sic] with the churches as they are today."  Taken  from  World  Council  of  Churches,  The
			Church for Others and the Church for the World, (Geneva:WCC, 1967).

[10] Thomas 1995: 91.  "The vision of new humankind where there is true partnership is hard to actualize in a world in  which 
			hierarchial structures dominate our lives.  Such  structures  are  painfully  present,  not  only  in 
			politics, economics, and family but also in the church - the very community that is called  to  be  a 
			sign of partnership and humanization.  The church.. oppresses the lives of the laity by  perpetuating 
			a clerical caste system  that  dominates  the  affairs  of  most  confessional  bodies  and  inhibits 
			participation  of  all  believers."   Taken  from  Letty Russell,  Human  Liberation  in  a  Feminist 
			Perspective - A Theology (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1974).

[11] Lyra  ~1975: Forward.  "..greater efforts must be made by local congregations everywhere to enlist,  train,  equip,  and 
			utilize those tremendous human resources that are still dormant but also ready to be awakened to  the 
			realization of their God-given abilities, and of what are  the  tasks  they  can  accomplish  in  His 
			Kingdom."  P.13 "The pastor is to be the initial enlister and trainer of his people..."

[12] Thomas 1995: 94.  "When the missionary nature of the  church  as  God's  representative  in  the  world  is  the  chosen 
			perspective, this leads to what is sometimes called open ecclesiology...   Open  ecclesiology  begins 
			with the function of participation and moves from there to understanding the form and nature  of  the 
			church."
