The first reform must be the attitude. the ministers of the gospel must be people who can warm the hearts of the people, who walk through the dark night with them, who know how to dialogue and to descend themselves into their people's night, into the darkness, but without getting lost. the people of god want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

The First Reform Must Be The Attitude.

The people of god want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.
Government People Acting
But the most dangerous hypocrite in a common-wealth, is one who leaves the gospel for the sake of the law: a man compounded of law and gospel, is able to cheat a whole country with his religion, and then destroy them under colour of law: and here the clergy are in great danger of being deceiv'd, and the people of being deceiv'd by the clergy, until the monster arrives to such power and wealth, that he is out of the reach of both, and can oppress the people without their own blind assistance.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
Remember, most of the bureaucrats voted for hillary clinton. most of the bureaucrats deeply dislike what trump is trying to accomplish, and most of the bureaucrats think they can't be fired, so they can outlast you.
Thinking Trying Remember
An individual gospel without a social gospel is a soul without a body and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. one is a ghost, the other a corpse.

Theirs is the banner in my hand. and i wish i had the power to tell them that the despair of their hearts was not to be final, and their night was not without hope. for the battle they lost can never be lost. for that which they died to save can never perish. through all the darkness, through all the shame of which men are capable, the spirit of man will remain alive on this earth. it may sleep, but it will awaken. it may wear chains, but it will break through. and man will go on. man, not men. ~equality 7-2521 (as prometheus), pgs 103-104

Beautiful Drinking Sleep
I see a few hands stretching out to me at the edge of the net, so i grabbed the first one i could reach and pull myself across. i roll off, and would have fallen face-first onto a wood floor if he had not caught me. "he" is the young man attached to the hand i grabbed. he has a spare upper lip and a full lower lip. his eyes are so deep-set that his eyelashes touch the skin under his eyebrows, and they are dark blue, a dreaming, sleeping, waiting color.

Up until about a hundred years ago, the world was dark at night. you got to have a real night so you could sleep.
Real Sleep Dark
Gradually the sunken land begins to rise again, and falls perhaps again, and rises again after that, more and more gently each time, till as it were the panting earth, worn out with the fierce passions of her fiery youth, has sobbed herself to sleep once more, and this new world of man is made.
Fall Passion Sleep
