Quote by Rowan Williams

“The faith we Christians proclaim needs to be not a clever system but the possibility of dependable relationship. We need to point to the God who does not let go, to the Christ who does not run away. And (here's the rub) we ourselves need to be dependable people... by our faithfulness to the lost, the suffering, and marginal, we begin to show what it is to have faith in the one who doesn't let go.”

The same thing with houses. It is only after having crept along a series of them in search of a very specific one that you come to learn what they contain. From the arches of gates, on the frames of house doors, in letters of varying size, black, blue, yellow, red, in the shape of arrows or in the image of boots or freshly-ironed laundry or a word stoop or a stairway’s solid landing, the life leaps out at you, combative, determined, mute.

The stock market has collapsed! Oh really? Let me put the kettle on….”
