"As a Christian, I hold to the view that there is more to life than what we see in the physical realm. Truth is not confined to physical reality but reaches deep into the unseen from which we derive moral sensibility and a profound sense of place and meaning.

We as humans build our lives around the as-yet unseen and it is only natural that we should reach out to the ultimate Unseen."
