@FrontPorchRepub 1/7 It was as I set fence-posts with the rough-hewn sergeant-at-arms of an outlaw biker club that I first recognized it. Not holiness worn like a vestment but holiness pressed into the body by the refusal of ten thousand instances of matter answering back. #LaborDay

Quoted by@commentmag 3/ The gospel answers what Barba-Kay holds open with an Event, not an atmosphere. This is the Incarnation claim: God doesn’t float above practice, but consecrates it. Virtue is participation in the life of Christ, received as a gift, with the labor of love as its creaturely form.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @seenunseenmag Immanence isn’t a stage to transcend. It is the very ground where redemption takes shape as eternity breaks into history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This is why the Resurrection—body and all, earth included—is the messianic scandal. The Kingdom comes through materiality, not despite it.Quoted by@seenunseenmag Immanence isn’t a stage to transcend.
