"It's better to make people laugh than to make them jealous."
*Comment on Jen Gilbertson's blog.
"So, to become a human being and a Christian...is not to separate ourselves and work to become holy in a space that is defined and protected by religious convention; nor is it to seek for perfection by ordinary social or political activism. It is to be present with Christ in the world. It is to be there in God's name and God's presence in both confusion and order alike, standing with Christ, standing in that place in the world where God has chosen to be. And this is not a place of power or influence; it changes the world not by force but by patient endurance, by making room for the truth of God's alarming compassion to be there in the midst of everything
*Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
Sermon Sunday 5th February 2006
