"When we encounter the Gospel, something in us is changed, something in us is forever transformed by the beauty of the story told, and we are never the same.  This event of hearing good news is what theologians call grace."

"The good is to be done because it is good, not because it goes somewhere.  I believe if it is done in that spirit it will go somewhere, but I don't know where.  I don't think the Bible grants us to know where goodness goes, what direction, what force.  I have never been seriously interested in the outcome.  I was interested in trying to do it humanly and carefully and nonviolently and let it go."
