"Our gift is to witness the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, not to govern the world or dictate the behaviour of others. Our
gift is to join that great cloud of witnesses that has gone before us
and seek to nurture the world, society and culture, and offer the
healing of Christ's words and presence to a world which we love and
cherish, not one which we consider to be an enemy or adversary. If we
can accomplish this, then we may glimpse the energy of creation with an
increased capacity to love God and minister in co-suffering love to His
creation. We may then be able to heal the wounds of perception, the
broken images of life which skew our regard for creation and for each
other."
--- Archbishop Lazar (Puhalo), Orthodox Church in America
