Caleb’s Reviews > Church, World, Mission: Reflections on Orthodoxy and the West > Status Update

“Theology is always an invitation “to taste and see,” an announcement and a promise to be fulfilled in communion, vision, life.” 🔥🔥🔥

Immersed in human history, the Church is always full of temptations and sins and, what is even more serious, of compromises and accommodations with the spirit of “this world.” The temptation is always to prefer peace to truth, efficiency to rectitude, hymn success to the will of God

"If, as it has often been noticed, the Fathers do not define the Church, do not make her into an object of theological reflection, it is because none of such definitions can truly or adequately comprehend and express the essential mystery of the Church as experience of the Kingdom of God, as its epiphany in 'this world.'"
