God created us for love, for union, for forgiveness and compassion and, yet, that has not been our storyline. That has not been our history.
Richard RohrTo believe in Jesus, is to believe that the historic person who lived on this earth more than 2000 years ago was the image of the invisible God. That's a huge leap of faith, but it is my leap of faith, it's the act of faith of the Christian community.
