at the beginning of his great tome
catholicism henri de lubac sj
invites the reader into the mental world of the
generation just after the apostles
that of clement of A athanasius
basil gregory gregory nazianzens
hilary and cyril d jerusalem not to mention augustine a little later on
the precise insight sustained through 500 yrs of church teaching and revived in a vital way today
what is this insight
for gods' sake
god created human kind with the inherent understading of unity
that our awareness of our likeness to everyother human
is the context for our understanding our likeness to god
something militates against this inherent knowledge
what
when we find out
perhaps we could begin to build something
that looks like a community
the plaster that holds community together
is often cracked and crumbling
patch work is no mean craft
amen
