Mother Theresa always said, "Calcuttas are everywhere if only we have eyes to see. Find your Calcutta."

We're remembering each other's heroes, too. We are learning each other's songs. We are reminding ourselves that we are a global family praying together. We're all trying to live in the light of the history that shines through the biblical narrative.

And I think that's what our world is desperately in need of - lovers, people who are building deep, genuine relationships with fellow strugglers along the way, and who actually know the faces of the people behind the issues they are concerned about.

The more I have read the Bible and studied the life of Jesus, the more I have become convinced that Christianity spreads best not through force but through fascination.

I would love to see the Church on the right side of history.

Certainly the institutional church is ill. It's hemorrhaging young people at an astronomical rate.

The time has come for a new kind of conversation, a new kind of Christianity, a new kind of revolution.
