Our message and methodology have changed, do change, and must change if we are faithful to the ongoing and unchanging mission of Jesus Christ.

That in itself is an act of peacemaking, because we're seeking to align our wills with God's will, our dreams with God's dream.

Jesus doesn’t dominate the other, avoid the other, colonize the other, intimidate the other, demonize the other, or marginalize the other. He incarnates into the other, joins the other in solidarity, protects the other, listens to the other, serves the other, even lays down his life for the other.

When any sector of the Church stops learning, God simply overflows the structures that are in the way and works outside them with those willing to learn.

If your goal is to produce firefighters and rescue workers, you have to produce people willing to enter burning buildings.

Scripture is something God had ‘let be,’ and so it is at once God’s creation and the creation of the dozens of people and communities and cultures who produced it.

Ultimately, I hope Jesus will save Buddhism, Islam and every other religion, including the Christian religion, which often seems to need saving about as much as any other religion does.
