Voices from the Desert
A spirituality for our times
Author: Leslie Griffiths
The Archbishop of Wales Lent Book for 2003.
Invited by Archbishop Rowan Williams to write his Lent book for 2003, Leslie Griffiths considers some unlikely prophetic voices in our modern world.
It is easy to dream of an exotic solitude under the starlit skies, but in reality the desert is a hard and barren place of testing and few venture there, geographically or spiritually. Yet it is a place where, freed from the distracting noise of daily life, we can hear a call to more authentic living. The poets and artists among us are natural desert dwellers and reflecting on the work of writers such as Jack Kerounac, Salman Rushdie and RS Thomas, and the song lyrics of the Manic Street Preachers, Leslie Griffiths attunes our ears and hearts to listen for truth about God and about ourselves where may we least expect to find it.
