“Underneath all notions of justice is a set of faith assumptions that are essentially religious, and these are often not acknowledged.”

“In our modern world, we often separate faith from practice. But the way of Jesus rejects this notion. Only living our faith offers the credibility to teach our faith. Anything less is less that the teachings of Christ.”

“The assumption of an absolute determinism is the essential foundation of every scientific enquiry.”

“By acting compassionately, by helping to restore justice and to encourage peace, we are acknowledging that we are all part of one another.”

“It is essential that justice be done, it is equally vital that justice not be confused with revenge, for the two are wholly different.”

“We will see that the greatest problem confronting civilization is not merely religious extremism: rather, it is the larger set of cultural and intellectual accommodations we have made to faith itself.”
