| Summary: | In this article the author argues that, by its very nature, the church is called to be the sign and the agent of interpersonal relations. The argument begins with a reflection on the modern view of the person as individualistic at the expense of relationships. The tradition of a relational theology of God is then explored. Finally, an outline is given of six implications of this relational view of God for life in the church. |
