"For a saint to emulate, think of ++Desmond Tutu--his clarity and stability, his freedom, and his joy. That is the goal at which the Divine Detachment Process aims. Being who we really are day by day, hour by hour, step by step, is our primary testimony, our basic protest against injustice. And this requires being unflappably secure, utterly convinced that Jesus loves us all the way down. Imagine--and this is not a guilt trip, because Im not there yet either--what would happen if we all came close to ++Tutu in the conviction that God is for us. I tell you, that will be the day when the trumpet sounds and Jerichos taboo-walls come tumbling down! Imagine Jesus grinning with tears of happiness. Imagine His renewed exclamation, I saw Satan fall!" Marilyn McCord Adams, in "Leaven in the Lump of Lambeth":
her address to the LGCM Annual Conference last week in London.
