The Worshipping Assembly
The worshipping assembly is neither a machine nor a species of plant. It is a human society suffused with the unpredictable presence of One who is not content with remaining a first principle, a ground of being, or a transcendent way, but who had the effrontery to take flesh and pitch his tent beside ours. And whom we crucified. This endows the assembly with a certain wariness.
