"Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory."

"When your congregation prays 'Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,' the folk at City Hall ought to get nervous. The church exists to sign, to signal, to sing about the tension whereby those who are at the bottom are being lifted up and those who are on top are being sent down" (William H. Willimon & Stanley Hauerwas, Lord, Teach Us: The Lord's Prayer and the Christian Life, 97).
