“Original goodness is our first nature, it is the first gift of life to all. Original sin is our second nature, not original at all!
Read the birth poem in the first chapter of the Bible. It’s all about the divine goodness in which the world is set.
Each day of creation in the poem is good. Light is good. Dark is good. Sea is good. Wild things are good.
Every living thing that moves on the face of the earth is very good.”
These words are from an uplifting, engaging and deeply human talk by the late David Wood, Anglican priest from the Northwest of England and ambassador for the ecumenical Christian meditation movement.
