''I wondered if God had made a mistake, abandoned me or was angry at me.... I was spiritually bankrupt. I never lost my faith in God, but I had stopped believing God would do anything for me.... [Attending Metropolican Community Church as a woman] was like being born again. Everything up to that time was an existence. Nothing up to that point was real.... God is a god of diversity. God didn't make one kind of tree, or rock or metal or planet. To think God created just one kind of human being is absurd.''
