This evening I wish to suggest that we Christians should accompany people on their pilgrimages. Specifically we should travel with people as they search for the good, the true and the beautiful.

We can identify with Frodo and Sam, setting off not knowing quite where they are going and what they are to do.

The next challenge for Christianity is to remind Europeans that we are called to seek the truth.

I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims.

Seeking the good is not primarily about rules and commandments.

Claiming that you have got the truth wrapped up does breed violence and intolerance.

Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth.

Indeed if we Christians so tell our story that Judaism is silenced, then we have not spoken rightly of Christ.

At the centre of Christianity is community; we are gathered by the Lord around the altar.

All the Abrahamic faiths are marked by violence.

Most religions live from a narrative that shapes their relationship with the divine other, God or the gods, and with the human other, the stranger.

Clearly a big challenge for Christianity is how to remain in contact with the millions of people who look for God but do not come to Church.

We need a place in which we may flourish and be ourselves.

What can the Church do? If she stands by her moral teaching, then she will be seen as standing in judgement over a vast percentage of Europeans.

Christians can bring peace to multi-religious Europe because we are able to understand the role of faith in the lives of other believers better than atheists.

The trouble is that after nine years as a Jack of all trades and Master of the Dominican Order, I have no expertise on anything except airports and exotic foods.

One of our deepest needs is to be at home.

Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the Reformation.

The medieval Church believed that the resurrection of Christ marked a new time for all of humanity.

To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.

To be a preacher requires two apparently contradictory qualities: confidence and humility.

Our society has lost confidence in the power of reason, except perhaps scientific reason.

The unutterable violence of the Holocaust shook our confidence in the possibility of telling any story of faith at all.

I believe that his death and resurrection transformed humanity's relationship with God.

Celibacy is not just a matter of not having sex. It is a way of admiring a person for their humanity, maybe even for their beauty.

After I'd produced about two dozen pen and ink drawings, one evening I decided that they needed poems to accompany them. I still have no idea where that notion came from, but it took me about two hours to produce verses for these creatures.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.

Collectively, we must do more than simply watch, with resignation and a feeling of powerlessness, reports on the evening news about the latest terrorist atrocity.

By the time this concert ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not make sense.

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.

Remember that God under the Law ordained a Lamb to be offered up to Him every Morning and Evening.

In the evening of the first day my father conducted us to the public baths.

The companion of an evening, and the companion for life, require very different qualifications.

Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose.

In the morning we received some very thin coffee. For lunch we had potato soup with a few pieces of meat in it, in the evening we had a very thin meat soup with some potatoes in it.

The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning, a sitting on the throne at noon, a pageant in the evening.

The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world.

There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.

I spent an entire evening seated between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, being charmed from either side. It was pure Hollywood magic.

His struggle for a bare living left him no time to take advantage of the public evening school. In time he learned to read, to follow a conversation or lecture; but he never learned to write correctly; and his pronunciation remains extremely foreign to this day.

It felt good doing a physical job, and going home each evening feeling like I had really done a day's work.

That match was late evening and I had the experience of the electricity of the Centre Court because it was packed, a full house for the whole match. It had been a great year for me, first time there and I had the full taste of Wimbledon.

After tea it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often.

Be able to suffer wearing a necktie or slightly high heels for an entire evening without complaint or early removal.

I was taken to concerts when I was six, seven years old, and sat in a box throughout the whole evening.
