So what I’d suggest is that you try on a tiny incarnation.
It is a little tiny incarnation; a little tiny taking on the experience of reality that others have, in order to relate to them, to stand next to them, and meet their needs not as an outsider, but as a conspirator. You know the meaning of conspirator, right? “One who breathes with another?”
And the church must be a place of conspirators in this. God chose to conspire with us; to breathe in life as we breathe it in. We are called to do the same, with one another, and with strangers, because humanity is so important to God that God decided to enter into it.
