Belief in providence is both necessary and impossible, absurd but
deeply human. It is not required of Christians formally by the
creeds, but it is required of them by their daily prayer. Central
to Christian prayer is the belief that God acts, that he has a
purpose not only for the whole creation but for the individual, and
that if individuals bring their concerns to God, God will make a
difference. But how does this difference come about? How is it
possible to find evidence of the activity of God in the world
around us and in our own lives. What criteria, what models, can we
use? The image used of God here, after much discussion of the
problems of providence when thought of in connection with either
God or human beings, is that of the theatre director, particularly
the theatre director exemplified by Peter Brook in his famous book
The Empty Space. In this perspective God can be present as one
whose job it is to evoke talents, skills and.capabilities people
did not know they had. God is given a supremely active and creative
role, and one which does not destroy, or manipulate, human
autonomy. And in this perspective, men and women are given hope,
that they will not find love's labours lost.
