"I call that church free which enters into the covenant with the ultimate source of existence. It binds together families and generations, protecting against the idolatry of any human claim to absolute truth or authority."
"Church is a place where you get to practice what it means to be human."
"We are not a religious tradition with a creed, but a religious movement that has always wedded social justice work to theology"
"Religious liberalism affirms the moral obligation to direct one's effort toward the establishment of a just and *loving* community."
"The faith of a church or of a nation is an adequate faith only when it inspires and enables people to give of their time and energy to shape the various institutions - social, economic, and political - of the common life."
