Madeleine L'Engle Quotes

One Of My Young Married Students Has Suffered All Her Life Because She Was Taught In Her Church That She Was Born So Sinful That The Only Way The Wrath Of God The Father Could Be Appeased Enough For Him To Forgive All Her Horrible Sinfulness Was For God The Son To Die In Agony On The Cross. Without His Suffering, The Father Would Remain Angry Forever With All His Creation.
Many Of Us Have Had A Least Part Of That Horror Thrust On Us At One Time Or Other Inour Childhood. For Many Reasons I Never Went To Sunday School, So I Was Spared Having A Lot Of Peculiar Teaching To Unlearn. It's Only Lately That I've Discovered That It Was No Less A Person Than St. Anselm Who Saw The Atonement In Terms Of Appeasement Of An Angry God, From Which Follows Immediately The Heresy That Jesus Came To Save Us From God The Father.
