I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism, then this encounter, deeper than any theology, may happen.

An aged rabbi, crazed with liberalism, once said to me, We Jews are just ordinary human beings. Only a bit more so!

The Christian use of religion as a personal love affair both shocked me, and attracted me.

I began to see that my problems, seen spiritually, were really my soul's plusses.

I was not comfortable worshipping another Jew.

I literally fell among Quakers when I went up to Oxford.

Old friends die on you, and they're irreplaceable. You become dependent.
