Many who search for the Grail do so in the mistaken belief that if they find it they have found the key to God, if not God herself, when in fact at best they will only have found out a little more about God.

Whilst there is always room for more, plenty has been written about God, certainly more than enough to map the way for those who truly wish to find God.

Those who wish to find God must look within, those who seek the Grail are looking without.

There are many reasons why people search for the Grail. For some the search is academic, for others it is to discredit the Church, for others it is about evangelism. Sadly, for many it is about power. I do not say that none should search for it, but do not be under any illusion - if your true calling is to find God, do not get distracted by the Grail.

If, however, you are involved in such a search, or indeed any theological search, perhaps you should question why you are. It is likely that you are searching for God, though as yet you are unsure where to look or how to go about it, and it is likely that no particular religion has called to you. If this is so then I say “Good!”, since for the most part religion stands in the way of finding God - once the religion has been found the search stops, just when it should be beginning - but that’s a different matter!
