The wisdom of Rowan Williams

It is Lent 2015 and I am currently reading two books by former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, and enjoying and appreciating them immensely.

The Lion's World - A Journey into the Heart of Narnia (2013)

Folks today have not necessarily rejected Christianity (or religion or church) - they have rejected what they think Christianity (or religion or church) is.  Their "default setting" is a conviction that Christianity has nothing much to do with their reality as they see it.  "They need to be surprised into a realization that they have never actually reckoned with what Christianity is about."  p. 17
