Moltmann on Ecclesiology:

  • What is the church? The body of Christ.  The people of God.  Church & Israel. 
  • Where is the church? “Whoever hears you hears me.  Whoever visits them visits me.”  So Christ is in us calling us to proclaim Him AND Christ is in the outsider calling us to join Him.  A cyber church would be a church without the Eucharist.  Our “near” senses are under developed and our “far” senses are overdeveloped.  I still believe in the flesh community where we can engage each other with all of our 5 senses. 
  • What is the role of the Eucharist? We do not celebrate our theories about his presence but his present.  Let’s start by celebrating His presence THEN we can talk about our different theories about how He is present. 
  • The church is both a gathering and a sending.
