I wonder whether they have rum and Coke in Heaven? Maybe it's too mundane a pleasure, but I hope so -- as a sundowner. Except, of course, the sun never goes down there. Oh, man, this heaven is going to take some getting used to.

Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. Forgiving means abandoning your right to pay back the perpetrator in his own coin.

We are fundamentally good, and evil is an aberration.

The final and full revelation of God is not a book, it is a person. Jesus Christ.

We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God.

There will be no future without forgiveness. Any process of peace is bound to collapse if this is missing. There is no way peace and stability can come through the gun of vengeance.

Exclusion is never the way forward on our shared paths to freedom and justice.
