Video Interview Transcript

As I understand God as the creator of all creation and God as the spirit present in all creation it changes the way I engage with the world. One thing it does is it makes me both feel urgency and patience. Urgency because you realize that in this world horrible, horrible things can happen. And if I'm not engaged and if I'm not encouraging other people to be engaged the consequences, this is a real world, the consequences can be terrible. So there's real urgency. But there's also, there's not panic, paralyzing fear. There's a sense that if I believe the spirit is at work, we may mess up but the spirit will keep working. So there's this sense that there's great urgency, great responsibility, but there's also a sense of trust in the work of God in the world.
