Claiming that you have got the truth wrapped up does breed violence and intolerance.

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.

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.

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

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

To be a preacher requires two apparently contradictory qualities: confidence and humility.

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.
