Therapy is replacing religion says Carey
|
|
THE Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey, said yesterday that religion is being replaced by therapy, with "Christ the saviour" becoming "Christ the counsellor"…..In one of his most strongly worded speeches for a decade he attacked even his own clergy for preaching sermons with an emphasis on therapeutic methods rather than Christian salvation…."Western culture today is obsessed with three alternative saviours - therapy, education and wealth, among many others - none of which can provide lasting healing for our broken world," he said. "Our society is fascinated with the healing of the body and mind. Its unspoken assumption is that if we can but keep in tune with the wellbeing of our inner selves, all will be well." http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/2000/08/01/timnwsnws01019.html
