320. Lynch is writing here with reference to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and using the response to those attacks by Rowan Williams to survey the use of the transcendent. He draws from Williams’s theology, that those things that mediate the transcendent can help us to reimagine or to rethink our notions of the sacred, without resting in our certainty that we have already found theological truth. Lynch writes, following Williams’s thought, that “there are particular symbols that stand as direct mediators of transcendence and become the means through which the comfortable certainties of our sacred systems of meaning are disrupted.” In other words, transcendent experiences can also undermine established beliefs as well as confirm them (ibid., 154).
