" The revelation of the Risen Christ as universal
and eternal was clearly affirmed in the
Scriptures (Colossians 1, Ephesians 1, John
1, Hebrews 1) and in the early church, when
the euphoria of the Christian faith was still
creative and expanding. In our time, however,
this deep mode of seeing must be approached as something of a reclamation project. When the Western church separated from the East in the
Great Schism of 1054, we gradually lost this
profound understanding of how God has
been liberating and loving all that is. Instead,
we gradually limited the Divine Presence to
the single body of Jesus, when perhaps it is as
ubiquitous as light itself—and uncircumscribable by
human boundaries. "
