[12:23] Rowan Williams: hartstochten halen ons makkelijk uit evenwicht

De Engelse theoloog en voormalig aartsbisschop Rowan Williams reikt de helpende hand om in de Veertigdagentijd aan bezinning te doen. In zijn nieuwe boek bespreekt hij de ‘hartstochten van de ziel’, die ons gemakkelijk uit evenwicht brengen, maar dat doet hij met een focus op ‘vernieuwd leven’.

Ralph Vaughan Williams was born on this day in 1872.

This article by Rowan Williams shows there is more to him than "The Lark Ascending', beautiful though that piece may be.

While mainly aimed at Christians, I think Rowan William's formulation is food for thought for people who care about the world and want change.

If you are only prophetic, you can sound scolding and shrill.
If you are only priestly, you only focus on reconciliation rather than the process.
If you are only royal, you focus on solving problems.

You need all three - and should watch when you fall too much into one.

Quote from "Being Christian" by Rowan Williams: "All these aspects of the baptized life need one another. If we were only called to be prophets, we would be in danger of being constantly shrill nay-sayers to one another and to the world. There is plenty of that in Christian history, and plenty of that in the Christian mentality today. And if we were only priestly, there would be a danger of never asking the difficult questions but moving on as rapidly as we could to reconciliation; let’s forget the difficult middle bit, let’s get to the end of the story. And if we were only talking about royal freedom and justice we would be in danger of constantly thinking in terms of control and problem-solving. But just as in Jesus these three things are inseparably bound up in his work and his words and his death, as in his life, so for us these are three facets of one life, not three isolated bits of a vocation."

The latest Rowan Williams.

I wrote a new short blog post about cybernetics, feedback loops, and the prevalence of evil. Basically, I use theories from cybernetics as analogies to talk about evil works in the world. You can read it here: https://write.as/nathaniel-metz/feedback-loops-and-evil

Yesterday, a podcast helped me connect a ton of dots in my life: my interest in #Music, #SacramentalTheology, #ChristianHumanism, #RowanWilliams, #Phenomenology, #LocalFood, #SlowFriendship, #LectioDivina, and Iain McGilchrist's work on the Divided Brain.

Common thread runs through it all.

‘Advent Calendar’
by #RowanWilliams
#Advent
#barddoniaeth #poetry

Advent Calendar. He will come like last leaf's fall. One night when the November wind has flayed the trees to bone, and earth wakes choking on the mould, the soft shroud's folding. He will come like frost. One morning when the shrinking earth opens on mist, to find itself arrested in the net of alien, sword-set beauty. He will come like dark. One evening when the bursting red December sun draws up the sheet and penny-masks its eye to yield the star-snowed fields of sky. He will come, will come, will come like crying in the night, like blood, like breaking, as the earth writhes to toss him free. He will come like child. C Rowan Williams 2003

I vividly remember “Being #Disciples", the address by #Archbishop #RowanWilliams at the Fulcrum conference at St Mary’s Church, #Islington, April 2007.

It later formed the first chapter of his SPCK book of that title.
