Quotes

• “So what do you believe in? Nothing fixed or final, all the while I travel a miracle. I doubt, and yet I walk upon the water.”
• “Your holy hearsay is not evidence. Give me the good news in the present tense. What happened nineteen hundred years ago May not have happened. How am I to know? So shut your Bibles up and show me how The Christ you talk about Is living now.”
• “Come holy harlequin! Shake the world and shock the hypocrite Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down. Let the feast of love begin, Let the hungry all come in, Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down.”
• “Teach the crippled how to leap,Throw their crutches on a heap, Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down. Rock, love, carry it away,Lift the world up by your levity, Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down.”
• “They are songs which can be sung in a Christian context, but they all had to mean something to me because I was often on the edge of not believing. The songs certainly have not made my fortune, but I am still grateful for the royalties when they come in.”
• “There are obvious problems with so many denominations in schools today, but I had collective worship at school and I do not think it is a bad thing.”
