There would be no call for ecological campaigning had nature not been exploited and abused. We experience the ground now bringing forth thistles as soil erosion devastates formerly arable land and deserts overtake fertile farms. Rivers and the atmosphere are polluted thoughtlessly and we are fearful of the consequences of a depleted ozone layer and the devastation of the greenhouse effect. We are not quite at home in our world, and somewhere in each of us there is a nostalgia for a paradise that has been lost.

I think that most of us would say that ubuntu basically speaks about what it means to be human.

We are made by God, we are made like God, we are made for God.

Once you have women liberated, it's amazing how many other problems get resolved--pover ty, education, health. Women are the key in any community.

God is on the side of the oppressed.

The way God operates is on the basis of love.
