In the year 1653 when all things Sacred were throughout ye nation, Either demolisht or profaned, Sir Robert Shirley, Baronet, Founded this church; Whose singular praise it is, to have done the best things in ye worst times, and hoped them in the most callamitous. The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. Inscription on church in Leicestershire, England
After quoting the inscription, Jeffrey Holland spoke of our times. "This is the time for our best effort, not our worst. This is a time for our greatest hope, not a retreat into calamity."
