		<title>quotable quote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 1935 Eberhard Arnold wrote Personal piety has become widespread, but unfortunately it is confined to what could be called purely religious experience, which cannot stand before God.  Many of these exclusively religious movements have arisen in recent years, confining themselves to preaching and personal confessions of faith, to a private experience of the Saviour [...]]]></description>
