"Your kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, also on earth. ”                                                 Luke 11: 2 “The Kingdom of God is still a collective idea that includes all of human social life. It is not a question of saving human atoms, but of saving the social organism. It is not a question of bringing individual people to heaven, but to transform life on earth into the harmony of heaven. ” Walter Rauschenbusch Christianity and the social crisis        "If we could see the holy in any reality, we would be in the Kingdom of God."                                               Paul Tillich “The kingdom of God is not to be found in any other world beyond, but in the middle of this world. … God wants us to honor Him in our fellow man - and nowhere else. ”                        Dietrich Bonhoeffer "Working towards heaven on earth means entering into fellowship with God and thus enabling Him to let His divine will work through us."                       The Anglican Bishop Henry Hill
