- The author "makes us recognize the perennial interdependence of word, image, symbol and ritual within Christian culture. He shows us how the creative religious imagination can enhance Christian living, and he almost persuades us that the ;post-orthodoxy' of our own times can strengthen rather than threaten our Christian identity. 'Being free to choose', he tells us, 'can be, possibly just is, more favourable to sincere and integrated Christianity that compulsion, although it gives us more to do'." -- Foreword.

- Notes
- "[By] Bob Bettson".
- A collection of addresses given by Archbishop Robert Runcie on his 30 August - 18 September 1985 tour of Canada.
- "The 1985 tour by [Robert Runcie] the Archbishop of Canterbury, from one coast of Canada to the other and from the extreme southern region of Ontario to the most northerly parish community in the Yukon .... Perhaps even more demanding than the vast distances and packed agenda, was the number of public addresses on a large number of subjects, for the most part chosen by his hosts. Before he retired as Primate, Archbishop [Edward W.] Scott requested some sort of collection of those addresses be undertaken, not simply for archival purposes but because of the depth and breadth of their messages. The task was turned over to me as I was the only national staff person to have been privileged to accompany Archbishop Runcie on the entire tour. I enlisted the aid of a skilled journalist who also happens to be a journalist -- Bob Bettson, formerly religion writer for the Calgary Herald and member of the editorial board of the Calgary diocesan newspaper 'The Sower', now on the editorial staff of the United Church Observer. I provided Bob with copies and tapes of the addresses and press clippings from daily newspapers across the country, so that he would include remarks made at what seemed to be innumerable media conferences." -- Foreword, p. [7]-8.

These people didn't want to be 'converted'. They wanted to be informed. Their feedback has been appreciated and a number of changes have improved the present volume as a result. I trust this new edition will be equally useful to as many folk". -- Foreword.

- "In the Anglican Church in our time, and in other denominations as well, we are facing multiple layers of crisis. We may choose to see these as opportunities or as threats, but even those of use who are resisting know that we are in a whirlwind and that everything is changing around us. I believe that this is a time of great potential. I believe that there is a polishing of the faith, in effect, and that we will see more clearly through the lens of Christianity when it is completed. I also believe that Christianity has a contribution to offer in the discussion of the meaning of life, but we need to formulate our conversation in ways that revisit some old ideas and take seriously the new knowledge that is unfolding in science and biblical research". -- Intro., p. 7.
- "In the physical universe, there is intrinsic goodness; in change, wisdom; in suffering, wholeness; in error, compassion. Redemption lies not in resolving the paradoxes, but in engaging creatively with them in the spirit of Jesus Christ". -- back cover.
