My interest is in what's true, where is the life, where is the heart and what inspires.

I feel like I've gotten an extraordinary opportunity to experience a sort of collective humanity. If you hug many people in such a short period of days you pick up on a communal energy, almost like feeling a giant heartbeat that everyone is beating together.

For a lot of people in our world today, God has become about believing the right stuff so you don't get in trouble.

I believe God gives people the right to say no, to resist, to refuse, to reject, to cling to their sins, to cling to their version of their story.

Swords appear strong, but they're actually quite weak. Jesus appears weak, but he's actually quite strong.

It's absolutely crucial that we come face to face with the power of our choices.

We live in a world where we have friends, neighbors, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, people we journey with for years who are gay. And we need to love, affirm and all of us together work on the real problems that we have in the world.
