Virtually All Christian Externals Are Tintern Abbey

Carl Gustav Carus - Tintern Abbey - Unknown date Carl Gustav Carus's Tintern Abbey provides a good visual representation of the current state of Christianity's externals.

More precisely, external, conventional, everyday Christianity is breaking up . . . has broken up. All of us are the individual standing in the middle of the ruins.

The burning question is what comes next?

Do we carry on as if nothing is broken and hope it will all be magically fixed somehow?

Or do we pursue a different orientation in Christian consciousness?

What comes next is up to us as individuals and cannot be avoided, no matter how hard we try.
