Rowan Williams quotes about
christian what-matters killers
It does not matter to the killers if their victims are Christian or Muslim, Hindu or Humanist what matters is that they show that they can kill where they please.
marketing empires degrees
What can we say about a marketing culture that so openly feeds and colludes with obsession? The Disney empire has developed this to an unprecedented degree of professionalism.
christian sex teaching
Christian teaching about sex is not a set of isolated prohibitions; it is an integral part of what the Bible has to say about living in such a way that our lives communicate the character of God.
church whole-truth whole
It takes the whole church to know the whole truth.
christian second-chance community
St Paul, in his second letter to Corinth, spells this out further in the important eighth and ninth chapters, where he urges some of the Christian communities to be generous to others so that they may also have the chance to be generous in return.
new-year real years
Perhaps a good resolution for the new year would be to keep asking what world we want to pass on to the next generation. Indeed to ask whether we have a real and vivid sense of that next generation.
compassion community feelings
Religion has always been a matter of community building; a matter of building precisely those relations of compassion, fellow feeling and - I dare to use the word - inclusion, which would otherwise be absent from our societies.
today wells microcosm
Well, today, the diocese is more than ever a microcosm.
views world creation
The world's creation has a beginning from the world's point of view, not from God's.
humanity selfishness resources
The planet should not be used as a warehouse of resources to serve humanity's selfishness
christian heart community
It is impossible to deny that Christians and Muslims have a common agenda here: both faiths have at their heart the living image of a community raised up by God's call to reveal to the world what God's purpose is for humanity.
christian believe world
To be a Christian is to believe we are commanded and authorised to say certain things to the world; to say things that will make disciples of all nations.
christian justice church
Christians should emphatically be campaigning for justice for the poor - but the Church is not a campaign.
church fellowship hearing life share sharing ultimate word
The Church is the new creation, it is life and joy, it is the sacramental fellowship in which we share the ultimate purpose of God, made real for us now in our hearing the Word and sharing the Sacrament.
