On the Ecclesial Place of God's Trinitarian Self-Communication

Abstract

This essay investigates the complex role of place, not only as something having anthropological value, but even more so, as having a theological meaning within the context of the ongoing self-communication and self-giving of the Trinity to us through human history. The act of choosing special places for a more intimate relationship with God,
is a true and real communicative act of a “collective” subject who, on the one hand, expresses the experience of faith of a people and the continuity of their tradition and, on the other, is the fruit of a culture in a particular place and time.
