I met an angel at Greenbelt. She is an Anglican priest, serving as a prison chaplain. We talked of spiritual reality, and how the words we use for it swirl around the edge of it. She is a channel for the peace and love of God to the men in her care. I saw the love in her face. She told me how she had brought a man to see that spiritual reality through the experience of beauty – in a prison!
