What if the church should be less concerned with creating saints than creating a world where we do not need saints? A world where people like Mother Teresa and MLK would have nothing to do.

Whatever you believe, be open to being wrong

That which we cannot speak of is the one thing about whom and to whom we must never stop speaking.

Truly embracing the fragility and tensions of life...brings with it the possibility of true joy.

Here God is not approached as an object that we must love, but as a mystery present in the very act of love itself.

Your job is to take notes, my job is to make that impossible.

Faith, then, is not a set of beliefs about the world. It is rather found in the loving embrace of the world. Because the actual existing church has reduced the Crucifixion and Resurrection to religious affirmations held by a certain tribe, rather than expressions of a type of life, the event they testify to has been almost completely eclipsed.
