The Whole Earth Shall Cry Glory

Presents the view that to be in a seat at Iona Abbey, to be moved by the awesome oratory of a MacLeod sermon in full flood, to be led into the nearer presence of God by means of kaleidoscopic, imaginative prayer, is to be privileged and, more importantly, to be changed. This book also includes views on politics and peace. 'To be in a seat at Iona Abbey, to be moved by the awesome oratory of a MacLeod sermon in full flood, to be led into the nearer presence of God by means of kaleidoscopic, imaginative prayer, is to be privileged and - more importantly - to be changed...The urgent radicalism of his views on politics and peace spring not from modern sociological analysis, but from a profound sense of the holy at the heart of life...The personal becomes political in a vision which pushes the parameters of theological orthodoxy, yet just remains within the creedal boundaries - Christ at the heart of the cosmos; Christ the light of the world in all, through all; Christ the light energy in and through all matter.' Ron Ferguson, former Leader of the Iona Community, from the Introduction.
