“If God is worth our bother and if the life of our brother Jesus means anything worth our knowing, it is that the body is godly, the body is holy, without qualifications. Our hands are God’s hands in the world. Our hearts are God’s heart in the world. God pulsating. God beating. God yearning and open and growing in history. Our suffering and our tears are God’s pain and trauma in history. Our laughter and our pleasure are God’s own joy in history.”
