Faith is not certainty. It is the courage to live with uncertainty.

Lord Jonathan Sacks | 2011

Asceticism is not that you should not own anything, but that nothing should own you.

Ali Ibn Abi Talib | c. 11th Century

Religion has power. It bonds people as a group. It moves people to act. It changes lives. And whatever has power can be used, misused or abused. Religion is life fire: it warms, but it also burns. And we are the guardians of the flame.

Lord Jonathan Sacks | 2011

Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.

Prophet Muhammad | 632 CE

Our greatest danger in life is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit our target.

Steve Chalke | 2015

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

Albert Einstein | 1879-1955

What the Psalms show and our prayers indicate is that our operational theology describes a god who is less than God. Our operational theology describes a god of human making. Our prayers call forth a god on a human scale. We operate as though God is our lackey, available to demolish our enemies, and confirm our prejudices. We pray as though God were our wayward teenage child whose friends we must approve.

Bishop Desmond Tutu | 2011

The Church exists to draw men unto Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the Cathedrals, clergies, missions, sermons, even the bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.

C. S. Lewis | 1952

Faith is not certainty. It is the courage to live with uncertainty.

Lord Jonathan Sacks | 2011
