A community which refuses to welcome - whether through fear, weariness, insecurity, a desire to cling to comfort, or just because it is fed up with visitors - is dying spiritually.

We have to remind ourselves constantly that we are not saviours. We are simply a tiny sign, among thousands of others, that love is possible, that the world is not condemned to a struggle between oppressors and oppressed, that class and racial warfare is not inevitable.

He who is or has been deeply hurt has a RIGHT to be sure he is LOVED.

I remember that throughout history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it always...whenever you are in doubt that that is God's way - the way the world is meant to be. Think of that and then try to do His way.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness.

[Happiness] comes when we choose to be who we are, to be ourselves, at this present moment in our lives.

One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals.
