“This is what the love of God is like: it is free and therefore it is both all-powerful and completely vulnerable.
All-powerful because it is always free to overcome, but vulnerable because it has no way
of guaranteeing worldly success. The love of God belongs to a different order, not the order of power,
manipulation and getting on top, which is the kind of power that pre-occupies us.” 


 Rowan Williams,
