...He said repeatedly that becoming a Christian believer was the most important event of his life. Born a Jew, he was baptized as an Anglican on Holy Thursday 15 years ago...
I have a soft spot for Jewish Christians. It seems to me that Jews who come to Christ must be special to God. It may just be my human reaction, but if I was God, the Jewish rejection of Christ would be an endless source of sorrow, and those Jews who receive Him would make me glad. When I think of Jewish Christians I think of God smiling in adoration.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
