Summary

This quote suggests that when the church adapts or adjusts its beliefs, practices, and values to align with the prevailing cultural norms, it tends to lose its strength and influence. History, according to this perspective, demonstrates that the church's ability to transform society or promote change relies on its unwavering commitment to its core principles, rather than conforming to the ever-changing cultural landscape. The quote advocates for the church to maintain its distinct beliefs and traditions, suggesting that it is through an unyielding stance that the church can effectively impact and challenge the culture around it.

When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.
