He argues that holiness can be found in how we engage with the world around us.
"If holiness means mystical experiences or even sweet thoughts or feelings of well-being and oneness with God, then holiness has pased me by'" he writes.
"If holiness means leaving behind the dirt and the mess and the chaos which is all around us in the world, to escape into a realm where my peace and contemplation need not be disturbed, then I do not want to be holy"
A touch of genius and reality.
All the nonsense and humbug that one hears on the topic.
In that same article he refers to that often-quoted line: 'All that is needed for evil to thrive is that good people do nothing'.
When one sees an organisation being destroyed by pious humbug, men working in the dark, surley it is time to speak out.
The far-right is causing untold damage across society at present. The churches are not exempt, religious congregations are not exempt.
