When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so. God is not a demiurge [demigod] or a magician, but the Creator who gives being to all entities. Evolution in nature is not opposed to the notion of Creation, because evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve.

Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

If sadness comes to you one day with an invitation, tell it you are committed to joy and will be faithful to it your whole life long.

I think the church has to apologize not only to the gay person it has offended, but also to the poor, to women who are exploited, to children forced into labor and for having blessed so many weapons in the past.

I love it when people can actually engage with the materials of the sacrament in advance.

The Holy Spirit transforms and renews us, creates harmony and unity, and gives us courage and joy for mission.

Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.
