If we can get to the true depth of the heart, what we find there is the echo of God s creative word. Each one of us is a unique kind of echo of God. This does not mean that if we uncovered our deepest consciousness, we would find the Ten Commandments written there. It is that we are, by the very nature of our humanity, naturally attuned to the reality of God. ~ Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams
