"We are all very sensible,—it is forced on us every day,—of the feeling that the Churches are out-grown; that the creeds are out-grown; that the technical theology no longer suits us. It is not the ill-will of the people,—no, indeed,—but the incapacity for confirming themselves there. The Church is not large enough for man; it cannot inspire the enthusiasm which is the parent of everything good in history,—which makes the romance of history. For that enthusiasm you must have something greater than yourselves, and not less."—Emerson.
