Temple: Christian fear

Tuesday, November 6, 2018
    Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’”
    —Matthew 10:34-36 (NIV)
Quotation:
    If Christianity has never frightened us, we have not yet found out what it is.
