Response to Kohl's solicitation letter. Schuller writes that as a Christian pastor, he embraces great landmarks of Biblical faith--the Ten Commandments, Beatitudes, etc. He sees each persona as infinitely precious, and esteems all, including his enemies. He is loved by God, which transforms "I am" to "I can," a vision held by leaders of all sorts. Jesus is his model, and his energies are directed toward the day when there is peace and love throughout the world.
