The next challenge for Christianity is to remind Europeans that we are called to seek the truth.

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

Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth.

The key question for the future of Europe is whether these faiths will live together in peace or whether they will tear Europe apart.

We need the wisdom of women, and the experience of married people and parents, and the depth of the contemplative if we are to be formed as preachers.

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

Christianity will only make a contribution to the future of Europe if it can prove that people like Sam Harris are wrong and that we can make peace.
