Quotes
- “As a senator, I worried every day about the size of the federal deficit. I did not spend a single minute worrying about the effect of gays on the institution of marriage. Today it seems to be the other way around.”
- “In the Middle East, Iraq, Sudan, the former Yugoslavia and Northern Ireland, and many other places in the world, religion has been so divisive that people have killed one another, believing they were doing the work of God.”
- “The problem is not that Christians are conservative or liberal, but that some are so confident that their position is God's position that they become dismissive and intolerant toward others and divisive forces in our national life.”
- “We are seekers of the truth, but we do not embody the truth. And in humility, we should recognize that the same can be said about our most ardent foes.”
- “I had not been left behind in the parish. I wasn't holding the hands of grieving widows. I wasn't struggling to educate my children. I was pontificating on the great issues of the day in the comfort of a privileged lifestyle.”
- “Most of all, faith brings recognition that our quest never leads us to certainty. We are always uncertain, always in doubt that our way is God's way. That self-doubt makes it possible to be reconciled to one another. It is faith that makes the reconciling work of politics possible.”

John Claggett Danforth (* 5. September 1936 in St. Louis, Missouri) ist ein US-amerikanischer Priester der Episkopalkirche, Jurist und Politiker. Nach dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften an den Universitäten Yale und Princeton wurde Danforth 1969 Justizminister (Attorney General) von Missouri. Von 1976 bis 1995 wurde er für den Staat dreimal in den US-Senat gewählt, wo er unter anderem dem Ausschuss für Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Transportwesen vorstand. Unter anderem setzte er sich bei der Wiederwahl im Jahr 1988 gegen den späteren Gouverneur von Missouri, Jay Nixon, mit einem Stimmenanteil von 68 Prozent durch. 1994 kandidierte er nicht mehr; seine Nachfolge trat John Ashcroft an. Im Jahr 2000 galt der Republikaner zeitweise als George W. Bushs möglicher Kandidat für das Amt des Vizepräsidenten. Vor seiner Ernennung zum UN-Botschafter der USA 2004 war er unter anderem US-Sondergesandter im Sudan, wo er Regierung und südsudanesische Rebellengruppe Sudanese People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) an den Verhandlungstisch bekam. Nach nur kurzer Amtszeit trat Danforth am 20. Januar 2005 bereits wieder zurück. John Danforth ist verheiratet und hat fünf erwachsene Kinder.
