The church doesn’t like for people to grow up!
"The church doesn't like for people to grow up because you can't control grown-ups. That's why we talk about being born again. When you're born again, you're still a child. The people don't need to be born again; they need to grow up. They need to accept their responsibility for themselves and the world."
--Bishop John Shelby Spong
