"Our religious convictions are not a private matter. We may think our lives are private but really they are not. Our concern for family values, our sense of honesty and decency, our dedication to the church our love for the things of God, in all of these things and so many more our attention is always directed beyond to someone else. This is the way to live our lives as clergy."
