As I read the Old and New Testaments I am struck by the awareness therein
of our lives being connected with cosmic powers, angels and archangels,
heavenly principalities and powers, and the groaning of creation. It's too
radical, too uncontrolled for many of us, so we build churches which are the
safest possible places in which to escape God. We pin God down, far more
painfully than he was nailed to the cross, so that God is rational and
comprehensible and like us, and even more unreal.
Madeleine L'EngleThe
Irrational Season
