George Buttrick, former chaplain at Harvard, recalls that students would come into his office, plop down on a chair and declare, “I don’t believe in God.”
Buttrick would give this disarming reply: “Sit down and tell me what kind of God you don’t believe in. I probably don’t believe in that God either. ”
And then he would talk about Jesus, the corrective to all our assumptions about God.
–Philip Yancey
