text: The wave of the future seems toward autonomous, local communities of faith, working ‘academies’ of inter-faith coming together. We see it, for example, in Community Supported Agriculture, Food Pantries, etc., publicly witnessing inter-faith harmony in the practical collaboration of communal mutuality, complementarity and subsidiarity - one for all, all for one. Barriers to inter-faith harmony based on doctrinaire church competition are collapsing.
  The life and teaching of Jesus intend for practical living and not for political, ideological control. In a practical way, Christian attraction is authentic in terms of non-institutional, grass-roots Eucharist. Nature is first church, first sacrament, for her largesse resources and owns all life. Divine graciousness works in and through natural sacrament which transcends man-made constructs of institutional control and self-interest politics. Over-reach of dominion politics, with respect to religious/ cultural control, is wrongheaded.
