The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, has advised
those who are unsure how to pray to think of it as sunbathing,
saying that it tells us more about prayer than any amount of
religious jargon. "You're not going to get a better tan by
screwing up your eyes and concentrating," he said in conver-
sation with Terry Waite on Radio 2 on Tuesday. "You give the
time, and that's it. All you have to do is turn up. And then
things change, at their own pace. You simply have to be there
where the light can get at you."
