Love Unknown: The Archbishop of Canterbury's 2012 Lent Book
There is a seismic shift necessary from being religious to being a true
disciple. Here is the contemplative's perspective. It is an abiding
sorrow to the author that many faithful religious people, even regular
church goers, understand so little of the great truths they so sincerely
profess to believe, especially among young people. Unless a real love
for Jesus is awakened in their hearts, unless they have been helped to
see something of the sheer wonder and beauty of the contents of the
faith in which they are instructed, how can they withstand the atheism
of our materialistic society? There is a vast difference between being
religious and faith in God revealed in Jesus Christ. There is an inner
disturbance and distress among people today which can be a secret call
from the Spirit to go beyond the externals to a purer, deeper faith, to
an encounter, mysterious by its very nature, with the living and true
God revealed in Jesus Christ. What seems so very simple is in fact
shatteringly profound. This is the contemplative's genius.
