This was not really about “faith,” but more about awareness,
attention to the gifts of the universe. We notice also that the
great historic leaders of social movements—Jesus, Gandhi,
Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Aung San Sui Kyi—
possess deep spiritual awareness. Successful social
activism arises from love.
—Rex Weyler, Founder of Greenpeace

Faith alone does not make a man a good man. Many have
claimed to have a strong faith, and yet did not live their lives
as good men. However, I firmly believe a strong faith is the
foundation on which we can build ourselves into the good
men we all strive to become. As the father of two young
boys, I believe that sharing my faith with them helps to begin
that building process early on, and by working to live as an
example to them I can provide them with the tools they need
to build themselves into good men.
—Chris Webb, associate publisher, John Wiley & Sons

My priest, who went through this very same thing, said God
didn’t want Lisa to die. That’s not God’s plan. How God
works is that he always creates a space where good can
come out of any tragedy, and that I believe. I don’t know
what I was thinking that day, but I remember thinking that
sometime, very quickly, that good had to come from this,
and my job is to look for it, and to be open to it. I think that’s
what saved me—someone saying, “I know exactly what
you’ve been through.” And not just one person, but six. I had
six men who had lost their wives, who had been through it.
And that’s a miracle.
—Ron Cowie, photographer

Religion is Administration.
Faith is an unspoken, but nonetheless real interconnection
between souls, irrespective of dogma.
