Carey on gay marriage

 . . . . is startingly reactionary. On the other hand:
"On Thursday the Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt Rev Nicholas Holtham suggested in a letter to the Telegraph that it was time to "rethink" attitudes about same-sex marriage, as Christians had done with slavery and apartheid.
"No one now supports either slavery or apartheid. The Biblical texts have not changed; our interpretation has."
He argued that same sex marriage did not "detract from heterosexual marriage" and that the "development of marriage for same sex couples is a very strong endorsement of the institution of marriage"." 
 
I copied this from the BBC news site.

Eckhart: The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me.

Through the psalms, there are moments when I understand this. Sometimes, words that the psalmist is addressing to you are suddenly being spoken, by you, to me.
