I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me. ↗

Calling resists privatization by insisting on the totality of faith. Calling resists politicization by demanding a tension with every human allegiance and association. Calling resists polarization by requiring an attitude toward, and action in, society that is inevitably transforming because it is constantly engaged. Grand Christian movements will rise and fall. Grand campaigns will be mounted and grand coalitions assembled. But all together such coordinated efforts will never match the influence of untold numbers of followers of Christ living out their callings faithfully across the vastness and complexity of modern society. ↗

The Good News does not hinge on words like do or change but on the powerless, irrelevant, and frightening words like belief and faith. ↗

The Cross of Christ is to be a reality to me not only once for all at my conversion, but all through my life as a Christian. True spirituality does not stop at the negative (death), but without the negative - in comprehension and in practice - we are not ready to go on. ↗

The ragamuffin gospel says we can't lose, because we have nothing to lose. ↗
