Great read. Thank you. This got me thinking about other areas in which the world rejects Christ as King of Kings. The kingship of Christ over ontology--what it means to be a human--is another area rife with controversy. That Christ made people male and female shocks the modern Western sensibility.
I watched/listened to sermon “it’s all in Girard, man” that you linked to. Whilst I’ve always known that life is not a zero-sum game, I absolutely had not heard his perspective and it’s feeling totally right. I am not going to feel guilty for God’s blessings in my life, my standard of living and my privilege. ENVY is a pernicious sin.

I saw those chalk markings on an old church in the city of London and didn't know what they meant. Now I know!

Very interesting, and I liked the reminder of the reference in HMQE2's funeral.
Thanks for sharing your good writing.
Thank you for your kind words!
