“When I die I shall see myself as I’ve never seen myself before, I shall see myself in the light of God’s truth. That may not be very comfortable at all. Sometimes I feel afraid of it . . . All can do is trust that God already sees that truth and already loves me. So even when I see myself in the most unattractive light, God is still love. Can I accept that? We’ll see when I die.” - Rowan Williams
Tonight on CBS (9-11 pm Eastern) there will be prime time special entitled In God’s Name. 12 of the world’s religious leaders (including Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dalai Lama, Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, a Sunni Sheikh in Cairo, Yonna Metzger, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, and Patriarch Alexei II, head of the Russian Orthodox Church) will be featured in personal interviews. It looks to be a worthwhile view, and I, for one, will be watching. If for no other reason than to hear more of what Williams has to say.
Thanks to Jason of Theolog for the tip, which I found here: In God’s name (originally posted on Saturday, 22 December 2007).
