I go where I'm invited. And all I can tell you is if we accepted every invitation we had, I'd be away every day of my life.

I want the traditional family upheld, but I don't want it upheld to the detriment of other people.

Praying and living deeply, richly and fully have become for me almost indistinguishab le. Prayer is being present, sharing love, opening life to transcendence. It is not necessarily words addressed heavenward. Prayer is entering into the pain or joy of another person. Prayer is what I am doing when I love wastefully, passionately and wondrously and invite others to do so.

My sense is if the Episcopal Church can't stand challenge within its own ranks, then it is not a church I would want to be a member of anyway.

I've never met anybody who was helped by being told how wretched, miserable and sinful they are.

I experience God as the power of life, the power of love and the ground of being. I don't say that's what God is; I say that's my experience of God.

Paul's words are not the Words of God. They are the words of Paul- a vast difference.
