"A Christian should be able to go to the White House, a crack house, their momma's house or any house and come out with their integrity, vision, compassion, and commitment to justice intact.
If the Kingdom of God is within you, then everywhere you go you should leave a little heaven behind. People will know you to be a heaven leaver. You can learn to love your crooked neighbor with your own crooked heart because you're connected to a power and grace greater than your ego."
--Dr. Cornel West, Hope On A Tightrope, p. 78
