Think of fanatical people. They’re overbearing, insensitive, and harsh. Why? It’s not because they are too Christian but because they are not Christian enough. They are fanatically zealous, but they are not fanatically humble, sensitive, empathetic, or forgiving—as Christ was.

When our Lord stretched forth his hand to heal a leper, there was no evangelistic strategy attached to the act. It was a pure outflow of the divine love into the world, and needed no further justification. Such should be the Church’s deeds of service. – at Brent, London

If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.

We need at least two types of gospel presentations. For a traditional person, the meaning of life is to be good. For a postmodern person, the meaning of life is to be free.

Can one who goes the way of the Cross sit in the seat of Pilate when it falls vacant? A church that sees the cross of Jesus as the central event of history can never identify any political order with the reign of God. – at Brent, London

The demonization and dehumanization of the other side must stop. When professing Christians do it, it is triply wrong.

The Early Church Christian social project was a unique kind of human community that defied categories. It had at least five elements:
*Multi-racial and multi-ethnic
*Highly committed to caring for the poor and marginalized
*Non-retaliatory, marked by a commitment to forgiveness
