For Christians, the problem is not how to reconcile homosexuality with scriptural passages that condemn it, but how to reconcile the rejection and punishment of homosexuals with the love of Christ.
William Sloane CoffinThe world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.
William Sloane CoffinWithout love, violence will change the world; it will change it into a more violent one.
William Sloane CoffinOf God's love we can say two things: it is poured out universally for everyone from the Pope to the loneliest wino on the planet; and secondly, God's love doesn't seek value, it creates value. It is not because we have value that we are loved, but because we are loved that we have value. Our value is a gift, not an achievement.
