"A Christian is supposed to be in the world, and yet not of the world--a Both/And as perplexing and demanding as the Either/Or that precedes the life of faith. I'm at once a pure, beautiful, genderless soul, but at the same time a gendered body full of flaws, sins, and wanting. This contradiction, the Both/And, is the Cross."

"ينبغي للمسيحي أن يكون في العالم، ومع ذلك ليس منه؛ إنها ثنائيةٌ تجمع بين أمرين، محيِّرةٌ ومُرهِقةٌ، بقدر ما هو الاختيار الحاسم الذي يسبق حياة الإيمان. أنا في آنٍ واحدٍ روحٌ نقيةٌ جميلةٌ متساميةٌ عن الجنس، ولكنني في الوقت نفسه جسدٌ ذو جنسٍ، مليءٌ بالعيوب والخطايا والنواقص والرغبات. هذا التناقض، هذه الثنائية المتناقضة، هو الصليب."

"Leaving your religion and having to invent your own system of values is a big deal, after all."
