"I have never quite managed to see how we can make sense of the sacramental life of the Church without a theology of the risen body; and I have never managed to see how to put together such a theology without belief in the empty tomb. If a corpse clearly marked 'Jesus of Nazareth' turned up, I should save myself a lot of trouble and become a Quaker."
Rowan Williams, "No life, here — no joy, terror or tears," Church times, 17 July 1998, p. 27 (26-27).
This is of course unfair to the evangelical tradition at least.
