'In Him we live and move and have our being', Paul tells us, and Augustine added, 'God is a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.'"

8		"Truth is the WHOLE. We miss the truth if we content ourselves with fragments."

10		"The world is perfect, and the human opportunity is to see that and conform to that fact."
