It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God's eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews - everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

I enjoy walking by myself on the same paths where, as a little boy, I delighted in following my father around.

I believe men and women are the same and that women should be given an equal chance to serve God with men.

Faith implies a continuing search, not necessarily a final answer.

We've uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in the newspaper business.

You always get back much more than you give.
