Emanuel, "God is with us".
Who is "us"? People on Earth divided in self-interest and destroying each other in self interest.
In our ignorance, we don't even know who we are.
Our fraudulent sense of selfness, separates us from the one community of life on earth, evolved in common, still evolving.
Religions don't want to get evolution because it exposes their sacred fetishes. God is Self-expressed in the Naturalis Sacramentum Ordinis. Each Newborn, in God's Image, destined and called to be An "Other Christ" is hope renewed.
Churches, politically divided in cultic self-interests, are an abomination to each other and all other. Except we wake up to the Common Truth of all churches/ religions, that all life on Earth is one Family, one Church, we will continue the work of self-competition and self destruction.
Let CHURCHES UNITED begin in the common effort of coming together in Sacramental/ biological understanding, this 2017 Church Unity Octave. Failure to do this means failure of church.
