Dennism,
I believe all of creation is theophany and all of humanity is invited to be Christophany.  God resides, sometimes buried deeply, within each of us.  I guess my first responsibility as someone who attempts to follow Christ is to allow Christ to transform me so that I can be Christ to others.  I don't do a very good job so I try to understand when I have difficulty seeing Christ in others that I have no idea what they are dealing with or through what eyes they see God or life.  Perhaps they have as hard a time seeing Christ in me as I in them.  I have a long way to go, but then I'm just a work in progress.
