[12:23] Rowan Williams: hartstochten halen ons makkelijk uit evenwicht

De Engelse theoloog en voormalig aartsbisschop Rowan Williams reikt de helpende hand om in de Veertigdagentijd aan bezinning te doen. In zijn nieuwe boek bespreekt hij de ‘hartstochten van de ziel’, die ons gemakkelijk uit evenwicht brengen, maar dat doet hij met een focus op ‘vernieuwd leven’.

A supremely polite hatchet job.

The victim is Jordan Peterson, former psychology prof turned culture warrior. The job is done by Rowan Williams, eminent intellectual and former Archbishop of Canterbury.

Williams quietly reveals the hollowness of Peterson's arguments, speaking with the generosity of the benign master who remains unperturbed by his noisy and under-equipped counterpart.

Ralph Vaughan Williams was born on this day in 1872.

This article by Rowan Williams shows there is more to him than "The Lark Ascending', beautiful though that piece may be.

While mainly aimed at Christians, I think Rowan William's formulation is food for thought for people who care about the world and want change.

If you are only prophetic, you can sound scolding and shrill.
If you are only priestly, you only focus on reconciliation rather than the process.
If you are only royal, you focus on solving problems.

You need all three - and should watch when you fall too much into one.

I wrote a new short blog post about cybernetics, feedback loops, and the prevalence of evil. Basically, I use theories from cybernetics as analogies to talk about evil works in the world. You can read it here: https://write.as/nathaniel-metz/feedback-loops-and-evil

Yesterday, a podcast helped me connect a ton of dots in my life: my interest in #Music, #SacramentalTheology, #ChristianHumanism, #RowanWilliams, #Phenomenology, #LocalFood, #SlowFriendship, #LectioDivina, and Iain McGilchrist's work on the Divided Brain.

Common thread runs through it all.
