| Summary: | “The happening that is Expo '67 implies for churchmen, most significantly perhaps, that to speak God's name coherently in 1967 we have to affirm not just that the world is our home and humanity our body but that the present is for us God's place of glory. The place to glimpse his reality is not the past, as though we were to back into whatever lies ahead looking over our shoulders into the time when once he was alive and spoke. Neither is it the future when at last he will be plain. … Taking our presence for granted, we commonly find God's presence hard to see, sometimes perhaps assuming prematurely he is absent when in fact we are the ones who are not there.” |
