"The best service to the Church, in the long run, will be that kind of art that answers the second question best. The building of independent souls who are really growing is ultimately the best service to the Church, because the Church is not a monolithic ungrowing thing. The Church is, in one sense, the summation of where its members are. A church consisting of static, ungrowing members, even if it's growing in numbers, will still be a static church."
