I believe in MasterPeace. World leaders cannot push back armed conflict alone. We need the whole world to make this happen.

I have struggled against tyranny. I didn't do that in order to substitute another.

Theology reminded me that, however diabolical the act, it did not turn the perpetrator into a demon. We had to distinguish between the deed and the perpetrator, between the sinner and the sin, to hate and condemn the sin while being filled with compassion for the sinner.

When you think of the KKK, they actually have as their emblem a fiery cross. And they don't see any contradiction between the cross, an instrument of suffering that procured our reconciliation with God, and its use as a symbol for nefarious attacks on black people. But they believe that they are being obedient to God because they can read things that they see.

The way God operates is on the basis of love.

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

I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
