Life is a huge privilege and opportunity. God has trusted you with gifts and abilities, which he wants you to use.

Don't judge a person by their past. They don't necessarily live there anymore.

My position on the issue of homosexuality is no different from the position of the Anglican Church and all the major denominations around the world. I know that it's different from the secular culture in the western world, but it's no different from the teaching of the church globally. We're Christians basically.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now, doesn't mean it won't happen. God's timing is perfect.

What unites the church is infinitely more important than what divides us.

Stop looking for the perfect church. It does not exist. Even if it did exist, the moment we joined it, it would no longer be perfect!

It doesn't really matter so much what the words are I don't think - maybe if you're a real expert in prayer you could do it through silence. But I think sometimes it helps to express it and to know you're expressing it to God. Paul talked about praying with your spirit and that's basically what it is, it's expressing what you feel deep down in a language which God gives you.
