“The ultimate meaning of the Bible escapes human limits
and calls us to a recognition that every life is holy,
every life is loved,
and every life is called to be all
that that life is capable of being.”
John Shelby Spong

“Being holy …
does not mean being perfect but being whole;
it does not mean being exceptionally religious
or being religious at all;
it means being liberated from religiosity
and religious pietism of any sort;
it does not mean being morally better,
it means being exemplary;
it does not mean being godly,
but rather being truly human.”
William Stringfellow

“Ironic that those most holy
are least likely to see themselves that way.”
