I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Quote of the Day from Bishop Willimon

From Richard Heyduck via Facebook:

Will Willimon: "It is more important for a pastor to prod and empower than to pacify. Conflict... is an expected, necessary byproduct of transformative leadership in the name of Jesus. The church begins (Acts 2) in fire and earth trembling; the church dies by files and regulations."

And it's going to be interesting at Duke, I'm betting. I'm looking forward to having him as a professor.
