From her chapter "Icons of the True" in Walking on Water.
"[W]e do not find [wisdom and grace] in many places where we would naturally expect to find it. This confusion about because much so-called religious art is in fact bad art, and therefore bad religion."
"Christ has always worked in ways which have seemed peculiar to many men, even his closest followers. Frequently the disciples failed to understand him. So we need not feel that we have to understand how he works through artists who do not consciously recognize him. Neither should our lack of understanding cause us to assume that he cannot be present in their work."
"We cannot seem to escape paradox; I do not think I want to."
When speaking of the new book of common prayer and how we confess our sins of commission before those of omission, she writes, "It is the things I have left undone which haunt me far more than the things which I have done."
"There is nothing so secular that it cannot be sacred, and that is one of the deepest messages of the Incarnation."
