I'm excited we can be part of making the death penalty history.

It's hard to hear the gentle whisper of the Spirit amid the noise of Christendom.

The world is looking, not for Christians who are perfect, but for Christians who are honest and who are willing to be honest with some of our contradictions and hypocrisy.

A lot of times people say whatever the government touches, they don't do that well, so why would we trust them with the power over life and death? Do we really believe the system is that perfect that it won't make any mistakes? You can't reverse these mistakes.

When we were starting our community a bunch of older Benedictine nuns said to us, "If you have any questions or want to pick our brains, please do - we've been doing community for about 1,500 years together so we've learned a few things."

Violence is for those who have lost their imagination.

We need good laws, but no law can change a human heart - only God can do that.
