„If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.“
As quoted in Unexpected News : Reading the Bible with Third World Eyes (1984) by Robert McAfee Brown, p. 19
Kontext: If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
„A person is a person because he recognizes others as persons.“
Address at his enthronement as Anglican archbishop of Cape Town (7 September 1986)
„This family has no outsiders. Everyone is an insider.“
"And God Smiles," sermon preached at All Saints Church, Pasadena, California (6 November 2005)
Kontext: This family has no outsiders. Everyone is an insider. When Jesus said, "I, if I am lifted up, will draw..." Did he say, "I will draw some"? "I will draw some, and tough luck for the others"? He said, "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all." All! All! All! – Black, white, yellow; rich, poor; clever, not so clever; beautiful, not so beautiful. All! All! It is radical. All! Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Bush – all! All! All are to be held in this incredible embrace. Gay, lesbian, so-called "straight;" all! All! All are to be held in the incredible embrace of the love that won’t let us go.
„Be nice to the whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.“
As quoted in New York Times (19 October 1984)
