Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time, anger at what we can't do, fear or even disgust at growing old."

Anger

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"Whether something is old-fashioned or not doesn't resolve the question of whether it's true or not. I can see the temptation of simply thinking, 'Well, there's a cultural mainstream which flows neatly in one direction. You just align with it'. And that really won't do."

Direction

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"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."

Culture

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"I value unity because I believe we learn truth from each other in this process."

Truth

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"A healthy human environment is one in which we try to make sense of our limits, of the accidents that can always befall us and the passage of time which inexorably changes us."

Time

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"We shall not find life by refusing to let go of our precious, protected selves."

Life

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"I have to go on being a priest and bishop, that is, to celebrate God and what God has done in Jesus, and to offer in God's name whatever I can discern of God's perspective on the world around - something which involves both challenge and comfort."

God

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"In spite of the haze of speculation, it is still something of a shock to find myself here, coming to terms with an enormous trust placed in my hands and with the inevitable sense of inadequacy that goes with that."

Trust

Quote_1.png
Rowan Williams
"We are called to show utter commitment to the God who is revealed in Jesus and to all those to whom His invitation is addressed."
