Transfiguration and disfiguration

Today, for the feast of the Transfiguration, we begin an occasional series of excerpts from the deeply inspiring collection Prayer and Prophecy: The Essential Kenneth Leech. Kenneth Leech is an Anglican priest, Christian socialist and community theologian from London, England. Leech believes that spirituality must be deeply rooted in compassion and justice; otherwise it becomes “mere spirituality.” Today’s reflection, “Transfiguration and disfiguration,” is a sermon of Leech first published in 2005.
