Rowan Williams: God is not a UFO

‘I believe in God the Father almighty’ isn’t the first in a set of answers to the question, ‘How many ideas or pictures have I inside my head?’ as if God were the name of one more doubtful thing like UFOs and ghosts to add to the list of the furniture of my imagination. It is the beginning of a series of statements about where I find the anchorage of my life, where I find solid ground, home.

—Rowan Williams, Tokens of Trust (Westminster John Knox, 2007), 6. (Chapter One; H/T Aaron)
