PRELATE n. A church ordtak

en PRELATE, n. A church officer having a superior degree of holiness and a fat preferment. One of Heaven's aristocracy. A gentleman of God.
  Ambrose Bierce

en DRUIDS, n. Priests and ministers of an ancient Celtic religion which did not disdain to employ the humble allurement of human sacrifice. Very little is now known about the Druids and their faith. Pliny says their religion, originating in Britain, spread eastward as far as Persia. Caesar says those who desired to study its mysteries went to Britain. Caesar himself went to Britain, but does not appear to have obtained any high preferment in the Druidical Church, although his talent for human sacrifice was considerable. Druids performed their religious rites in groves, and knew nothing of church mortgages and the season-ticket system of pew rents. They were, in short, heathens and --as they were once complacently catalogued by a distinguished prelate of the Church of England --Dissenters.
  Ambrose Bierce

en I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute - where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act. I do not speak for my church on public matters - and the church does not speak for me.
  John F. Kennedy

en I fail to understand why this officer (Surendra Sharma) is making such allegations against me. No police officer or superior officer had expressed their displeasure against me during the 40 years of my service. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration.

en Recollect that you must be a seaman to be an officer and also that you cannot be a good officer without being a gentleman.
  Horatio Nelson

en Victory becomes, to some degree, a state of mind. Knowing ourselves superior to the anxieties, troubles, and worries which obsess us, we are superior to them.

en The prince of darkness may be a gentleman, as we are told he is, but whatever the God of earth and heaven is, He can surely be no gentleman. His menial services are needed in the dust of our human trials, even more than his dignity is needed in the empyrean.
  William James

en The problem with the data-collection procedures that I have seen discussed is that they rely on officers to report on themselves. So if you're an officer who knowingly targets African-Americans, for example, you're going to do one of two things. You're going to alter your paperwork so that a superior officer doesn't catch on, or you're going to intentionally stop more white drivers to provide yourself with a cover.

en This is what heaven's gonna be like. Not just a white church or a black church, but people.

en Better than sovereignty over the earth, better than going to heaven, better than lordship over all worlds, is the reward of the first step in holiness.

en I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
  Thomas Paine

en The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's
  Mark Twain

en Church isn’t where you meet. Church isn’t a building. Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let’s not go to Church, let’s be the Church.

en PRIMATE, n. The head of a church, especially a State church supported by involuntary contributions. The Primate of England is the Archbishop of Canterbury, an amiable old gentleman, who occupies Lambeth Palace when living and Westminster Abbey when dead. He is commonly dead.
  Ambrose Bierce

en When I walk into an Orthodox Church... one is immediately aware that one has stepped into the presence of what St. Paul would call the whole family in heaven and earth. You have stepped into the precincts of heaven!
