The Absent Father and the Word became Flesh

The Absent Father ( father ) in the lives of children ... of families ...... of societies ..... remains a tragedy to be addressed.

Yet ..... the announcement that the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us becomes the divine answer which sadly is often ignored even at Christmas when the affirmation is made so loudly.

Obviously this is a putting on notice that this is a theme I wish to explore this coming year. Gathering up material from research done in the past and the reminder in Rowan Williams' book "Dostoevsky Language. Faith and Fiction" will inform some of what is to follow.
