"But the Spirit that hovers over the waters at creation is the same Spirit that animates the waters of Mary's womb. It is the same Spirit that alights on Jesus in the waters of the Jordan at his baptism. It is the Spirit that rules over nature even to kindling a fire in the water. The Spirit rests on all that is, making possible through sacrament and storytelling a recognition that we live in a world alive with God's purposes." -Stanley Hauerwas, The Work of Theology
