Faith is a private issue. At least, I consider it to be one.

My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life, but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs, but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other.

I think when you're dealing with faith, you want to be as responsible and sensitive to the material as you can.

Personal faith can be a powerful force for public good.

Faith is personal if it's to be real.

My faith was started off by my grandmother and mother, and so I always saw it as a very private, personal thing.

I'm still going to make mistakes, but I don't have any problems with publicly professing my faith now. It just took me a long time to get to the right place in my relationship with Christ.

I've long been really intrigued with what is the... proper role of faith and religion in public life.

For Christians, faith is a precious good, the most valuable personal and social resource. When it is left untapped, the common good suffers - not just the particular interests of Christians.

Of course, my faith has a lot to do with being able to be public without being a public nuisance.
