Too many of us are lonely ministers practicing a lonely ministry.

That's prayer to let God's Word speak deep within you and tell you, "You are my beloved. You don't have to take an eye for an eye. No, no you're too rich for that."

Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines.

Compassion can never coexist with judgement because judgement creates the distance, the distinction, which prevents us from really being with the other.

It is hard to bear with people who stand still along the way, lose heart, and seek their happiness in little pleasures which they cling to...You feel sad about all that self-indulgence and self-satisfaction, for you know with an indestructible certainty that something greater is coming.

Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God.

Peacemaking is a full-time vocation that includes each member of God's people.
