yup:
“I often wonder: if you were to ask people on the street—especially those who are not Christian—"How would you describe a Christian? How do you recognize one?" what would they say? Sadly, I fear the responses would not be love, unity, and dignity. Instead, we might hear words like judgmental, divisive, hypocritical, closed-minded, anti-this, anti-that. Not at all what we are to be. Not at all the message of the one whom we follow, Jesus Christ.
I believe the way we see ourselves or understand ourselves is radically different from how we are often perceived and experienced in the world.”
