Christian faith is... basically about love and being loved and reconciliation. These things are so important, they're foundational and they can transform individuals, families.

Grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us more . . . And grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us less

We admit that we will never reach our ideal in this life, a distinctive the church claims that most other human institutions try to deny.

When we ignore the world outside the walls we suffer-as does it.

For me, prayer is not so much me setting out a shopping list of requests for God to consider as it is a way of keeping company with God.

The Gospels and the rest of the New Testament reflect the life of Jesus, what it means for us & what it means for the world.

Like all good things, prayer requires some discipline. Yet I believe that life with God should seem more like friendship than duty. Prayer includes moments of ecstasy and also dullness, mindless distraction and acute concentration, flashes of joy and bouts of irritation. In other words, prayer has features in common with all relationships that matter.
