{Revival?}[20th June 1988]


[Redbook5:185-186][19880620:1040b]{Revival?}[20th June 1988]

*But what is becoming clearer is the possible need for a part of what is written here in these journals, and perhaps in the fictions, to be heard there in the South-east, at some stage: and this may be the linking factor in all those impulses towards there** and contra-indications against the Church here.***

The Archbishop**** seems ready for Revival# in Wales, and it is certainly in the air; but I doubt whether my job is primarily here.

One thing that seems fairly clear from Circles Analysis, however – which Analysis also indicates that the time is appropriate#* – is that any Revival will go exactly the same way as its predecessors in the cycle of Revivals, unless – as I do not think has happened before – it is genuinely transformed through Love: pure, genuine, selfless Love.#**

****judging by his Letter

#He actually says Renewal – and the thing renewed is never quite the same as before. <891010>

#*[but see VI, & S&C]

#**And even then, the Inner Circle has its danger points.
