Reinhold Niebuhr, received from the Rev. Bob Thomas:
"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime;
therefore, we must be save by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
therefore, we must be saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however, virtuous, can be accomplished alone;
therefore, we must be saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our standpoint.
Therefore, we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness."
