“A
Eucharistic community should be a new energy field, a new pattern of
relatedness; the joy of being a Eucharistic people is the renewal of
energy for the sake of transforming relationships in the cosmos. To be Christian is to be in relationships that promote the flourishing of life. We might think of these new relationships as morphogenetic fields. Jesus establishes new energy fields of compassion, inclusivity, healing, forgiveness, peacemaking, mercy and justice. As the Christ, human energy is now integrated with divine energy throughout the cosmos. The
yes of the Christian to the body of Christ is a yes to life in the
cosmos, to the earth, the planets and stars, to the diversity of
creation and all peoples, to the many religions that seek the ultimate
ground of being. The Christian says yes to all of these because all are brought together in the unity of Christ.” -- Ilia Delio, The Emergent Christ pp 100-101
