In glancing through McLaren's book A GENEROUS ORTHODOXY for some sermon info these two quotes struck me today as worth remembering:
"One can solve a math problem. One can contain a chemical reaction in an equation. But one never 'gets' beauty - one stands (or falls) in front of it astonished, amazed, open-mouthed, speechless, and humbled."
"In the upper world, hell once rebelled against heaven. But in this world heaven is rebelling against hell. For the orthodox there can always be a revolution: for a revolution is a restoration."
[actually that's a quote from Chesterton's ORTHODOXY, p.117]
peace and revolution, friends. peaceful revolution. go.
