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.

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.

We can identify with Frodo and Sam, setting off not knowing quite where they are going and what they are to do.

Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the Reformation.

To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.

Clearly a big challenge for Christianity is how to remain in contact with the millions of people who look for God but do not come to Church.

The trouble is that after nine years as a Jack of all trades and Master of the Dominican Order, I have no expertise on anything except airports and exotic foods.
