QUOTES
Every
time that religion has identified itself or entangled itself with a particular
political movement or a particular government, religion has been harmed by that.
I see religion as a powerful positive healing force for this nation and the world.
But that force is blunted, weakened, compromised inestimably, if we turn religion
into a tool for advancing political strategy; if we make it a matter of how to
win political office; if we treat it as anything other than a sacred part of life
from which we ought to draw sustenance and values and strength for living courageously
as good citizens.
