It is true that Christianity is not bound up with any particular race or culture. It is neither of the East or of the West, but has a universal mission to the human race as a whole.

Christianity has always seemed to fight a losing battle against race.

It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter. It is worth remembering that the Jeffersonian 'wall of separation' between church and state has always been intended to protect the church from the state as much as the state from the church.

Is it not worrying in itself that European Christianity is now barely able to keep Europe Christian? If we lose sight of this, the idea of Europe could become a minority interest in its own continent.

White people really deal more with God and black people with Jesus.

Persecution of Christians is growing around the world, and Congress needs to pay more attention to it.

The Christian church in the U.S. is still strong numerically, but it has lost its decisive influence both in American public life and in American culture as a whole, especially in the major elite institutions of society.

I believe there are certainly racial problems in this country, and I believe that peaceful solutions can help bring the races together.

Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.
