Roused by compassion we awake to life as God created it, as Jesus expressed it, as the Buddha and the Prophet Mohammad taught it. We see the holiness imbued in all humanity. Doesn't matter if you're African, Asian, Arab, European; Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish or some other. Doesn't matter the denomination you pledge or if you pledge.
We are God-shaped and God-filled. Affluent, poor, American, Iranian, Somali, Ethiopian, Israeli, Palestinian. The divine is our common bloodline and birthright. It's our bond in Goodness. We're kin in that way, but we often miss that part. We don't always view our shared space and shared responsibilities from the divine perspective.
- Archbiship emeritus Rev. Desmond Tutu in foreword to The Gospel of Father Joe
