The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.

Some of the most important conversations I've ever had occurred at my family's dinner table.

Science we are repeatedly told is the most reliable form of knowledge about the world because it is based on testable hypotheses. Religion by contrast is based on faith. The term 'doubting Thomas' well illustrates the difference.

The conversion of agnostic High Tories to the Anglican church is always rather suspect. It seems too pat and predictable too clearly a matter of politics rather than faith.

Our country's political discourse and debate are enriched by discussions of the political implications of our faith traditions whether they are taking place in our communities at our dinner tables or in our places of worship.

I just sort of take it from a character perspective and I don't know if he was necessarily spiritual but I do think he had hope. He was a character that was comfortable having hope in his life and hope is faith.

In Barack Obama Democrats have put forth a man of strong religious faith who is comfortable connecting his spiritual life to his public role as a policymaker.

Every life is a profession of faith and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.

Christianity is not the faith of the complacent the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls like Wesley Wilberforce Bonhoeffer John Paul the Second and Billy Graham. Each showed in their own way the relentless and powerful influence of the message of Jesus Christ.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.
