Quote: Elizabeth Clare Prophet on the “Function of the Summit Lighthouse”

“The function of The Summit Lighthouse, the purpose for its founding, had always been to publish the Pearls of Wisdom and the Keeper of the Flame lessons.  It was more of a fraternity than a church.  It only became a church because those who read the Pearls and studied the lessons said:

“We want to do more than just read and be a name on a mailing list.  We want to come together.  We want to worship together.  We want to have our own church.  We don’t merely want to study these teachings and then go back to our churches.  We want to come out from them.  We want to decree together, we want to sing together.””
