If God is about putting God ahead of myself then I've just quit being religious, because that's what got me into such deep trouble.

I am always surprised by people who speak of faith as if it happens in the air somewhere. Our bodies are God's best way of getting to us. Revelation begins in the flesh.

I don't have time for a job that doesn't leave me time to be quiet or still or to pray.

I don't miss the ministry, because I'm completely engaged in it. In terms of parish ministry, I miss the intimacy with a group of people.

As a general rule, I would say that human beings never behave more badly toward one another than when they believe they are protecting God.

The only real difference between Anxiety and Excitement was my willingness to let go of Fear.

I went to the little church in the country after ten years in the city. And part of my dream was to sit on people's front porches with glasses of iced tea, and all that happened. I was able to send birthday cards to everyone in the parish and able to know everyone who was there on Sunday by name. And that was what I'd been looking for.
