If those of us who believe in God do not believe God's grace is big enough to save the whole world... well, we should at least pray that it is.

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

I think of the Catholic worker movement and Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and others.

The Eucharist is a symbol of that as you have bread, the staple food of the poor, and wine, a luxury of the rich, which are brought together at the table.

David, Moses, Saul of Tarsus, these were all people who did terrible terrible things  -  they were murderers. The Bible would be a lot shorter without grace.

I think a lot of people view the death penalty as a debate class or something. The cost and what's at stake is really, really a big deal.

The true atheist is the one who refuses to see God's image in the face of their neighbour.
