The Secret Gospels of a Latter Age, Part I: The Discomfort of Christianity

All the photographs in this series are from Reims, France, and were taken in January 2020, some six weeks before Covid lockdowns began. 

At the time Neal & I were acutely aware the world around us was about to change forever.

I meet many people who claim that they aren't comfortable with Christianity; and yet I see that they never stop to think about what that statement means. They even hold me in contempt for being Christian, as though that were a character flaw. 

It’s not an easy time to keep the faith.

No one is supposed to be comfortable with Christianity. The aim of Christianity is not to become comfortable; the whole aim of the practice is to be ever more uncomfortable, to step out from inside the skin of false dreams that we use to hide ourselves from ourselves, and to stand naked in the true light of Being, where we are visible to the Lord and can actually begin to acknowledge our sin.
