Henri Nouwen was able to lead people from one way of thinking about God to another by simply offering an alternative theology rather than by attempting to destroy the older, more traditional ones. Indeed, he was accepted by many of the more "conservative" in the church since he never demanded they give up their older beliefs. He presented his own theology in a compelling, yet non-threatening way and thus was able to get many people to change gradually to viewing God in a way much less harsh than they may have originally. ---Ford |
