"Christian tradition has defined God as "Trinity", or vulnerability, communion, and mutuality.
Until and unless God is someone happening between people, the gospel remains largely an abstraction. Until he is passed on personally through faithfulness and forgiveness, through bonds of union, I doubt whether he is passed on at all.
But history has shown that individuals who are confirmed in their individualism will never create community, except after the model of a service station: they will use it as a commodity like everything else."
R. Rohr (again) - Near Occasions of Grace
