Speaker: Rowan Williams
I want to think about the difference between religion as primarily theory and description of the world, and religious or spiritual practice as the finding of a place within the world by work on oneself and one’s relation with what lies beyond the ego, the liberation of awareness of self and environment.
Bishop Rowan Williams has recently retired as Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and before that was Archbishop of Canterbury from 2002 to 2012. He has written widely on theology, spirituality and literature, and his most recent books include Candles in the Dark and (with Mary Zournazi) Justice and Love: A Philosophical Dialogue. He has a long history of engagement with WCCM.
