When we enter into the life of God, we can no longer call unclean that which God has made and those whom God loves. We can no longer use religion to suggest that there is anyone that God has made who is condemned to live beyond the boundaries of the love of God. Prejudice dies in that moment and universalism is born. That is what atonement is all about. How badly we have misread its meaning. God’s love is not and can never be bound by the limits of our love.  

John Shelby Spong

You are above me, O God,

you are within.

You are in all things

yet contained by no thing.

Teach me to seek you in all that has life

that I may see you as the Light of life.

Teach me to search for you in my own depths that I may find you in every living soul.

-from Sounds of the Eternal

"Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful speech and the inability to listen to others, I am committed to cultivating loving speech and compassionate listening in order to relieve suffering and to promote reconciliation and peace in myself and among other people, ethnic and religious groups, and nations." 

- Thich Nhat Hanh

"Genius is eternal patience." 

- Michelangelo

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.

William Shakespeare

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

Swami Sivananda

 Millions of unprejudiced minds‑‑simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert‑‑are waiting and watching for rest and drink.  Give them a cup of cold water in Christ's name, and never fear the consequences.
