Just as the Eucharist--the source and summit of the Christian life--is the sacrifice that undoes sacrifice, so the Church is the community that radically reorients community.
[The Church] provides a space and time in which to grow into this new being...and to undo false ways of belonging.
[James] Alison intuits...a 'mimetic fundamental ecclesiology' by describing this new way to be and to belong, and how the Church facilitates this process.”
That’s my condensed version of theologian Grant Kaplan’s attempt to briefly describe the theologian James Alison’s fresh take on what the Catholic Church is. (Less convoluted description under construction!) My aim here is to share this thing which has so inspired me and ponder “the presence and activity of the Church in the world of today” in its light.
