Archbishop’s sermon
From the Hay Festival. Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams.
You can find God in Eliot, Austen and even Philip Pullman:
He talked about the idea of the ”daemon” – the human soul manifested in animal form in Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy.
“What’s fascinating about Pullman is the way the health of human beings rests on relationship with daemons … that’s almost a way of saying that a whole human being, is one in which the internal conversation is going on, the internal criticism, the internal challenges … I feel that awareness of inner conversation has to be part of sensible modern discourse about God.”
