“I enjoy the Internet and other communication and information technologies, but I must admit that they do not satisfy my need for moral coherence and spiritual direction. If anything, such machines seem to divert my attention from the central concerns of my life — such as love, gratitude and responsibility — to relatively trivial pursuits with little enduring value.” - Quentin J. Schultze, from the Preface
