  • The ways in which a church can be beautiful are then, supposedly as many as the ways in which a woman is beautiful. Or as a friend (I think it was Perry Mayforth) from college once put it, "Every woman is beautiful, but as I get to know her she then becomes more or less beautiful."

    From Zion, perfect in beauty,
    God shines forth.
