"What we really might be"

I love these words of Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Anglican Communion. He wrote them in the London Telegraph last year, at Easter.

"Faith is not, after all, about getting to the point where everything is clear and settled. It is about stepping into a disorienting new world: the stories you know how to tell about yourself and your world may need to be interrupted and questioned. Familiar things and persons have to be looked at with a new depth of attention.

If Easter is awkward, it is because it is always a shock to be told who we really are and what we really might be."
