We love to talk about justice. It's the doing of justice that's hard...I believe it is work we are called to do

I've long been really intrigued with what is the ... proper role of faith and religion in public life.

Left to our own devices and passions, we human beings have a hard time seeing beyond what is immediately in front of us.

I'll be at Lambeth telling my story

My conservative brothers and sisters seem to argue that God revealed everything to us in scripture. Ever since, it has simply been our difficult but straightforward task to conform ourselves to God's will revealed there and to repent when we are unable or unwilling to do so. For me, there is something static and lifeless in such a view of God. Could it be that even the Bible is too small a box in which to enclose God?

I believe God is doing a new thing in the world. God is always moving us to include more people in the kingdom. God has taught us that about people of color, about women, and now I think God is teaching that about gay and lesbian folk. And I am humbled and privileged that I might be playing a very small part in that grand and wonderful plan of God's.
