We move in the hope...
that God will provide us with light according to our need,
guidance according to the demands of the time,
and strength to the requirements of every situation.
Our hope is that we may keep ourselves enough out of the way that God can move in and find us useable instruments for doing [God's] will.
--Fred Hoskins, "A Union of Hope," Uniting General Synod, 1957
