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.

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

One of our deepest needs is to be at home.

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.

The unutterable violence of the Holocaust shook our confidence in the possibility of telling any story of faith at all.

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.

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