Church Quote by Geoffrey Fisher

“In one sense what may pass between the pope and myself may be trivialities. In another sense the fact of talking trivialities is itself a portent of great significance. But the pleasantries which we exchange may, as one church leader said, be pleasantries about profundities.” quote by Geoffrey Fisher — Download Open image
