How do we live in a way that shows an understanding that we genuinely live in a shared world, not one that simply belongs to us?
Rowan WilliamsWe can at least see that the question is asked, and asked on the basis of a clear recognition that there is no way of manipulating our environment that is without cost or consequence - and thus also of a recognition that we are inextricably bound up with the destiny of our world. There is no guarantee that the world we live in will "tolerate" us indefinitely if we prove ourselves unable to live within its constraints.
Rowan WilliamsMy visit this autumn is an opportunity to continue that rich tradition of visits between Canterbury and Rome.
