"Because I spent month after month working with church folks who simply wanted to help neighbors who were down on their luck, no matter what they looked look or where they came from or who they prayed ..."

"But what I have also said is, don't come to the table with the same tired arguments and worn ideas that helped to create this crisis."

"Try me."

"I urge all of us not to make the perfect the enemy of the absolutely necessary."
