"The Church Exists By Mission, Just as a Fire Exists by Burning."

“The Church exists by mission, just as a fire exists by burning.” [Emil Brunner, The Word and World, quoted in Findley B. Edge, The Greening of the Church (Waco, TX: Word, 1971), Title Page)

Where there is no mission, there is no Church . . . nor faith

“One who receives this Word, and by it salvation, receives along with it the duty of passing this Word on. . . . Where there is no mission, there is no Church, and where there is neither Church nor mission, there is no faith.” [Emil Brunner, The Word and the World (London: Student Christian Movement Press, 1931), 108.]
