I'll be at Lambeth telling my story

Stability is why society has an interest in marriage.

I've long been really intrigued with what is the ... proper role of faith and religion in public life.

One of the joys of being a Christian or being a person of faith is that you believe deep down that death isn't the worst thing, you know. Not living your life: that's the worst thing. And death is not, it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's not, it's not the end of the world.

We love to talk about justice. It's the doing of justice that's hard...I believe it is work we are called to do

The state's interest in marriage is stability. Generally speaking, polygamy does not work for stability. Inherent in the whole polygamous movement is a deep and abiding misogyny and denigration of women. So polygamy is objectionable on lots of grounds.

The bees learn where they live by landmarks. If they're moved within their home range, they get confused.

Only God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Church has always been changing.

Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said if you want to save your life, you have to lose it.

I think my election is one of several indications that gay and lesbian folk are being brought more into the center of things. I'd like to think that my election signals my bringing of gay and lesbian folk into the center of the church.

When you claim to have the truth, as opposed to the truth as you perceive it, then you move us toward a theocratic view of government.

It is at least a small comfort to me, as a gay rights and marriage equality advocate, to know that like any marriage, gay and lesbian couples are subject to the same complications and hardships that afflict marriages between heterosexual couples.

I think there's a terrible price to be paid when your exterior life is not an honest reflection of your interior life.

There are enormously gifted Episcopal priests around this church who are gay and lesbian, some of whom are partnered, who would make wonderful bishops and they're going to be nominated and they're going to be elected.

Faith is a dynamic and ever-changing process, not some fixed body of truth that exists outside our world and our understanding. God's truth may be fixed and unchanging, but our comprehension of that truth will always be partial and flawed at best.
