What I try to get beyond is playing music at people and, instead, to play music with people because audience members are constantly part of the experience. What they say in their body language, what they say in their eyes, what they sing with me... it's an 'us,' and there's a communication that's like... it's like church, man.
Al Jarreau

We may go to church once a week, but our Christian life is daily - step-by-step.
David Jeremiah

This Jubilee is a privileged moment for the Church to learn to choose only ‘what pleases God most.’ And what is it that ‘pleases God most’?

Pope Francis

Everybody is entitled to believe. Churches have exactly the same right to exist as a football club, a trade union or a political party.
