I see no room in holy Scripture for any sexual activity outside of matrimony.

When the fire of prayer goes out, the barrenness of busyness takes over.

People have described me as a management bishop but I say to my critics, Jesus was a management expert too.

If someone talks about union, fidelity, a monogamous relationship, love, blessing; I would say it sounds like marriage to me. And blessing, you see, I think is undermining our sacrament of marriage.

I think in my own country, at the way we've seen through the ordination of women to the priesthood, which I'm delighted about, and that will move on to another level before very long.

I think what Calvinism may offer us is that God's in charge of his world.

Heaven is not located on high, but where the good of love is, and this resides within a person, wherever he or she might be.

It makes a great difference whether Davus or a hero speaks.

The more I read my poems, the more I find out about them. I still read them with the same passion I felt when I wrote them as a young man.

A lawyer's relationship to justice and wisdom is on a par with a piano tuner's relationship to a concert. He neither composes the music, nor interprets it-he merely keeps the machinery running.

Life isn't that sweet. That's why everyone wants sweet things.

Sweet cherry wine, so very fine, take it on down, pass it all around.
