There are some Christians who totally disengage from politics and set their minds on heaven so much that their faith is so heavenly minded that it is no earthly good.

Christians pretty much live like everybody else, they just sprinkle a little Jesus in along the way.

[People] need to find words that can reconnect them with each other. That is the gift of good liturgy, yeah. We're not talking about fluffy stuff. We're talking about real life for people around the world. Our prayers should be said like the daily breath that gives us life.

The early Christians felt a deep collision with the empire in which they lived, and with politics as usual. They carelessly crossed party lines and built subversive friendships. And we should do that too.

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

It is the church's responsibility, the government's responsibility, and the personal responsibility of every one of us to love.

I think in the end, God's justice is redemptive, it's restorative, it's about giving life, not taking life.
