N. T. Wright’s counsel for our various vocations

“You are called, prayerfully, to discern where in your discipline the human project is showing signs of exile and humbly and boldy to act symbolically in ways that declare that the powers have been defeated, that the kingdom has come in Jesus the Jewish Messiah, that the new way of being human has been unveiled, and to be prepared to tell the story that explains what these symbols are all about” (Wright, The Challenge of Jesus, p. 187) <br /></p>
