Sometimes I walked with Peter Reece as he went about his business in the parish. He would go about on foot: he had a theory that people should normally go about on foot; then there might be time for things to sort themselves out.
I said ‘You believe things do sort themselves out? I mean you do what you have to do, and other people do what they do; and what happens is likely to be all right?’
Peter Reece said ‘What else is God?’
I Said ‘You mean “God” is a word for the fact that things sort themselves out, and not for the fact that there is a God.’
Peter Reece said ‘What is the difference?’
