Christianity’s calling in the world

Christianity’s calling in the world remains that of offering the modern world a redemptive vision, centred on the life, death and resurrection of him through whom all things cohere, who by his incarnation shared our time in all its fallenness, so that with us it might come redeemed and perfected to its creator.
