If there is one thing I long for above all else, it's that the years to come may see Christianity in this country able again to capture the imagination of our culture.

Serving democracy and nourishing the common good is, for the media, something that requires not only attacking corrupt secrecies in a society, but also defending non-corrupt communication.

It takes the whole church to know the whole truth.

I value unity because I believe we learn truth from each other in this process.

Even when I was Archbishop of Wales and working with new bishops, I used to say, not realising quite how true it was, 'One of the things you will do as a bishop is disappoint people'.

And when the world is created, it is created in such a way that those eternal objects of God's loving wisdom become actualities - interacting with one another, relating to God in the finite realm.

In loving his own productive, generative, generous love, God loves all those ways in which that love can be realised in creation.
