Taylor’s concluding comment is dense but worth considering carefully: “There is a difference . . . between a view which sees widespread willed social and political transformation as something to be done by those who would achieve regeneration and a view which sees the relevant social and political transformations as needing to be discerned and hence accepted and lived in the right spirit.”33 There’s a difference between believing we are the ones we’ve been waiting for and realizing we are called to join the Spirit of God coursing through history.
