Favorite Quote:

""We desperately need a global ethic that is richer than our our mere concern about our consumer selves. . . Together. . . we are members of a universe in which emergence & ceaseless creativity abound. . . creativity is a sense of God we can share. . . moving us beyond consumerism & commodification. . . heal[ing] the split between reason & faith, science & humanities, [debunking] that we live in a world of fact without values. . . finding a scientific worldview enabling us to reinvent the sacred."
