"What right has a non-worldly, a discarnate, God to forgive any human being? … he is not to be found, his grace and mercy are not to be found, anywhere but in the past of human violence."-Rowan Williams, Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel
"The gospel will not ever tell us we are innocent, but it will tell us that we are loved; and in asking us to receive and consent to that love, or asks us to identify with, and make our own, love’s comprehensive vision of all we are and have been."-Rowan Williams, Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel
"To share Eucharistic communion with someone unbaptized, or committed to another story or system, is odd—not because the sacrament is 'profaned', or because grace cannot be given to those outside the household, but because the symbolic integrity of the Eucharist depends upon its being celebrated by those who both commit themselves to the paradigm of Jesus' death and resurrection and acknowledge that their violence is violence offered to Jesus. All their betrayals are to be understood as betrayals of him; and through that understanding comes forgiveness and hope. Those who do not so understand themselves and their sin or their loss will not make the same identification of their victims with Jesus, nor will they necessarily understand their hope for their vocation in relation to him and his community. Their participation is thus anomalous: it is hard to see the meaning of what is being done."-Rowan Williams, Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel
