Richard Holloway quotes about
fashion phenomenon
When a popular phenomenon reaches the cover of 'Time,' it is already out of fashion.
erosion people befriending
There are many strengths in modern society, but one of its weaknesses is the breakdown of many of the old structures and networks that supported people in times of crisis and need. Whenever we lose a strengthening element in society, we need to replace it with alternative systems as quickly as possible. Befriending schemes are a crucial part of this process, because they fill the gap that social erosion has left in the lives of so many vulnerable people.
forgiveness human-experience humans
When true forgiveness happens it is one of the most astonishing and liberating of the human experience.
powerful religion alternatives
Religion is the most powerful alternative to God.
prayer children self
God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers.
