Rowan Williams Quotes

A Doctrine Like That Of The Trinity Tells Us That The Very Life Of God Is A Yielding Or Giving-over Into The Life Of An Other, A 'negation' In The Sense Of Refusing To Settle For The Idea That Normative Life Or Personal Identity Is To Be Conceived In Terms Of Self-enclosed And Self-sufficient Units. The Negative Is Associated With The 'ek-static', The Discovery Of Identity In Self-transcending Relation. And Accordingly, Theology Itself Has To Speak In A Mode That Encourages Us To Question Ourselves, To Deny Ourselves, In The Sense Of Denying Systems And Concepts That Are The Comfortable Possession Of Individual Minds.
