![The genius of Christian spirituality is to integrate [the] spirit of possession with the spirit of dispossession. The spirit of dispossession implies that all the good and delightful things of this world are never allowed to own, possess, or shackle me. Dispossession implies that I am always free, my own person, liberated from the tyranny that possession can easily exercise over us.](/assets/img/quote-photos/the-genius-of-christian-spirituality-is-to-integrate-the-spirit-of-possession-w.jpg)

As a body without breath is a corpse, so the church without the Spirit is dead.
