Christians can bring peace to multi-religious Europe because we are able to understand the role of faith in the lives of other believers better than atheists.

Seeking the good is not primarily about rules and commandments.

This evening I wish to suggest that we Christians should accompany people on their pilgrimages. Specifically we should travel with people as they search for the good, the true and the beautiful.

I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims.

Most religions live from a narrative that shapes their relationship with the divine other, God or the gods, and with the human other, the stranger.

At the centre of Christianity is community; we are gathered by the Lord around the altar.

Any deep-rooted prejudice against others, such as homophobia or misogyny, would be grounds for rejecting a candidate for the priesthood, but not their sexual orientation.
