Community

The Church is the unity of all worlds, earthly and heavenly, of angels and men, of the living and the dead. We obtain real communion with God and we participate in God’s uncreated energy. God does not stay in heaven, directing history from there. He directs the world with His uncreated governing energies. We do not aim at appeasing God, but to heal ourselves, so that the vision of God becomes light for us and not fire. Furthermore, in the Church we live eternal life starting from now. We do not simply await the life to come, but we experience and enjoy it from the present. The Kingdom of God, according to the [Church] Fathers, is not life beyond the grave, but communion with God, above all, the vision of the uncreated Light.

Best evangelistic strategy ever: Orthodox Christians living intentionally in Real Community instead of by individualistic dictates of Modernity —
‘Look’ they say ‘how they [Christians] love one another’ (for they themselves hate one another) ‘and how they are ready to die for each other’ (for they themselves are readier to kill each other).
[usually quoted as ‘See how these Christians love one another’]
