"Since my election and consecration as Bishop of New Hampshire in 2003, one thing has troubled me most: the characterization of me by the press, the public, and the Anglican Communion as a single-issue, one-dimensional person. In the first fifty-six years of my life, I think I was known as a passionate preacher and communicator of the Gospel, lived out in my ministry as a parish priest ... But since my election, you'd surmise from press reports that the only thing I care about is the inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered Christians in the church. While I do indeed care deeply about that issue, it's only one part of my larger, more important passion: the saving grace of a God who loves us beyond our wildest imagining and who revealed himself in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God has taken this drastic action so that we all might be free of the sin that paralyses us and keeps us from being all that God wants us to be. And why ? For the reconciliation and redemption of the world". -- Intro., p. 3-4.
