Greatness comes with discipline.

Far too often, when we think we are frightened by mystery, the fact is that we are haunted by history.

The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves.

Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning.

You cannot wash the feet of a dirty world if you refuse to touch it

The future belongs to those who have the courage to create it. We need a new humanity. We need a new expression of community. We need the Church to bring the world together. This makes me excited.
