An interesting article from the U2 frontman, written for the New York Times recently. He says that Christianity crescendos at this time of year in this season of Easter. He refers to Easter as a ‘transcendent time – a rebirth I always seem to need’. The full article is here.

My favourite line in it is this:

I come to lowly church halls and lofty cathedrals for what purpose? I search the Scriptures to what end? To check my head? My heart? No, my soul. For me these meditations are like a plumb line dropped by a master builder — to see if the walls are straight or crooked. I check my emotional life with music, my intellectual life with writing, but religion is where I soul-search.
