• We don't save our soul and leave our emotions and our feelings and our body and all the rest of it out. That's just a way of talking that emphasizes the soul is so fundamental that we can, in some cases, treat it as the whole person because it actually is the thing that integrates all of these aspects of the self and makes them work together. Now, I don't think we can find a passage in the Bible that says that. We have to read and study how it addresses the soul, and we then see that it is the deepest, most vital part of the human self.

• We need to stop playing Privilege or Oppression Olympics because we'll never get anywhere until we find more effective ways of talking through difference.

• Sexuality is primarily a means of communicating with other people, a way of talking to them, of expressing our feelings about ourselves and them.
