I am a glorious child of God. I am joyful, serene, positive, and loving.

I'm not bowled over by how different all the world's religions are - I'm bowled over by how similar they are.

I believe that the spirit of God enters into the details and if we ask for guidance we will be led to the places where we can learn most fully because we can be most joyful. If I'm in a place that's lonely, I think God has one or two things to say. Extend your hand in service so that you might meet people or go somewhere else - or both.

Environmentally, the planet will not sustain the kind of abuse it receives at our hands.

If you think humanity can get itself out of all this mess without divine help, then you're not being hopeful - you're hallucinating.

There are no different categories of love. There isn't one kind of love between a mother and child, another between lovers, and another between friends. The love that is real is the love that lies at the heart of all relationships. That is the love of God and it doesn't change with form or circumstance.

The only way to end a culture of violence is to proactively create a culture of peace.
