― This quote from Paul Webster highlights one of the key factors contributing to homelessness in California, which is relevant to understanding San Francisco's approach to addressing the issue.“The difference between christian male leadership and secular male leadership is all about modeling who Christ is. And again, we're still sinful. Christ was nothing. We're going to apologize. Christ never had to. But we can model something, an apology that will help our boys be better leaders in the future, that will help them be better christian men, leaders themselves, and better husbands, which is a key thing.“ by Paul Webster
