"Yet, as everyone knows, religious institutions do make their peace with the world, they do themselves become part of the regular order. So the prophet contends against the priest, protests the accommodations, calls forth fresh energies and challenges the unfeeling stones within structures.
This reform of religion in the name of religion, this growing edge, this refusal to let well-enough alone, is the role of dissent."
~ Edwin S. Gaustad, Dissent in American Religion
