"The secular world is more spiritual than it thinks, just as the ecclesiastical world is more materia..." — Lionel Blue

To change, to convert? Why bother?

What would I have done if I'd been put to the test? Would I have risked my own life for people I hardly knew? Probably, I would have looked the other way at best or become another apologist for evil at worst.

Discrimination against Jews can be read in Thomas Aquinas, and insults against Jews in Martin Luther.

I am pleased now that I have lived in a gay as well as a religious ghetto, though it hasn't been very comfortable. Taken together, their limitations cancel each other out and I have seen the world more kindly and more honestly.
