Justin Welby – ‘Dangerous Prayer’

Speaking at a 24–7 Prayer ‘Boiler Room’ in Guildford, UK, recently, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said that when we meet Jesus in prayer we are ‘introduced to our true identity’.

In his talk the Archbishop said: “The question of ‘Who am I? Who am I really? What is my true identity…’ [is] at the heart of most philosophy; it’s at the heart of most religion of all faiths everywhere; finding who one is – either to escape it, or to be it, or to become it completely, or to change it. And the incredible thing about meeting Jesus [in prayer] is we are introduced to our true identity, and we spend the rest of our lives discovering what that means in practice.”
