“I’m not sure if the marketing world took it from Jesus, but there are some basic principles that apply like: People buy from people they like. When you evangelize, you don’t want to come around with a stick and beat it into people. It just doesn’t work.”

— U.S.-born Lithuanian Bishop-designate Gintaras Grusas, quoted here.
UPDATE: Okay.  Enough.  This is degenerating into a personal squabble between two people, and it has little to do with the subject of evangelization.  Comments are now closed.
