[Catieliecutty]

Dear Irene - thanks for your thoughts. I was thinking a lot about this, and I think I see it similarly to you. Perhaps Father Andrew was just using a different metaphor for the same thing. I tend to think that we all have Christ inside of us and we are either true or false to that True Icon - and I think this is what you are saying too. I think it is related to Christ's statement about the blasphemy of the Spirit being the only unforgiveable thing: that to whatever degree we are true or false to it, in relationship or rejection of it, we create values in the world somehow. (I'm sure I'm not putting that well.)

Maximos: thank you very much for those quotations from John Chryssavgis. That sounds like a great book to read and I will look for it. I heartily agree that technology gives us a greater responsibility, especially in terms of what I was talking about above.
