Rowan Williams on Identity in Christ - Anglican (Galatians 2:20)

Source: Rowan Williams47 words

"'No longer I, but Christ'—yet this is not the annihilation of the self but its liberation. The anxious, grasping ego dies; the true self, held in Christ's love, rises. We become most ourselves when Christ becomes our life." — Rowan Williams. Anglican: true self found in Christ.
