Unless spirituality answers the questions of power and powerlessness there is never any real reform. There is never any real advancement in human history, because the so-called reformers are done in by the struggle. The cross is finally about how to stand against hate without becoming hate yourself. — Richard Rohr, John Bookser Feister, Hope Against Darkness
