"Abandonment to the world also requires a considerable degree of institutional flexibility. Certainly the national denominations will need to become far more flexible if they are to play a part in the renewal movement.

My only response is that if the denominations remain intransigent, set in their own ways, unwilling to give up cherished bureaucratic precedents, they will indeed have to be bypassed."
