We are living in an historic moment. We are each called to take part in a great transformation. Our survival as a species is threatened by global warming, economic meltdown, and an ever-increasing gap between rich and poor. Yet these threats offer an opportunity to awaken as an interconnected and beloved community.

Ubuntu tells us that we can create a more peaceful world by striving for goodness in each moment, wherever we are.

If you want to keep people subjugated, the last thing you place in their hands is a Bible. There's nothing more radical, nothing more revolutionary, nothing more subversive against injustice and oppression than the Bible.

Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility.

Never let anyone make you feel inferior for being who you are. When you live the life you were meant to live, in freedom and dignity

We are going to have to be very careful that we give people the hope that freedom is actually better than unfreedom.

You know when ubuntu is there, and it is obvious when it is absent. It has to do with what it means to be truly human, to know that you are bound up with others in the bundle of life.
