If we continue to view God as a white male, we will continue to accept white male dominance in our society.

This serves to further legitimize racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, colonialism, deportation and discrimination.

An infinite God can never be captured by finite human metaphors.

Our lack of imagination regarding God has been, and continues to be, a source of suffering, subjugation and sadness.

Imagine God’s infinite generosity, and then be generous to your fellow human beings.

Imagine God’s infinite mercy, and then be merciful to your fellow human beings.

Imagine God’s infinite love, and then love your fellow human beings.
