While we deliberate, [Christ] reigns; when we decide, [Christ] reigns; when we decide foolishly, he reigns; when we serve him in humble loyalty, he reigns; when we serve him self-assertively, he reigns; when we rebel and seek to withhold our service, he reigns—the Alpha and the Omega, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

—William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Sermon at the 1930 Lambeth Conference
