Understanding this quote
The quote says that future Christianity must be more than a name, tradition, or set of outward practices. A Christian, in this view, needs a direct and deeply personal spiritual experience—a mystical relationship with God. Without that inner experience, the speaker suggests, Christianity will lose its meaning or cease to exist as a living faith.
