"As life-affirming moral agents, we have a responsibility to study the ideological hegemony of the past so that we do not remain doomed to the recurring cyclical patterns of hermeneutical distortions in the present—that is, violence against women, condemnation of homosexuality, spiritualizing Scripture to justify capitalism."    - Katie Geneva Cannon ; Katie's Canon: Womanism and the Soul of the Black Community (p. 173)

"God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. God did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith."

   - ; Acts 15:8-9
