“…So I press the question: could the communication ideomatum refer to something still more than just the human Jesus or the person of faith? After all, the divine Logos that became flesh in Bethlehem is the same Logos by which all the galaxies have come into existence (Peters, 2020) (Gregersen 2024b).…”

The communicatio idiomatum (the exchange of divine and human properties or attributes), apparently discarded by the Council of Chalcedon in 451, becomes central to both Christology and the life of faith during the Lutheran Reformation. In our own century, the communicatio idiomatum has been expanded and deepened to incorporate all that is biological and even physical, turning the entire history of creation into the eschatological body of Christ, the second person of the Holy Trinity.

“…Grundtvig in the following way: Human first, then Christian. 14 As all human beings are created in the image of God, whether believers or not, this implies likeness and equal position for all, 15 regardless of gender, race, age, religious affiliation. This theological view constitutes the foundation for cooperation within the local society in X-town, for example concerning the May 1st events.…”

This is an analysis of practical theology in a parish, responding to organized racism in the local area. The involvement in civil action, as well as the theological aspects of such work are considered and discussed in relation to Scandinavian creation theology. The need for radical practice is discussed in relation to vocation and the love of the neighbor, even when such practice becomes uncomfortable and even threatening.

Taking the recent UN Report about extreme poverty in the UK as a point of departure, this article analyses and assesses William Cavanaugh's political ecclesiology. Drawing on the interpretation of Martin Luther's concept of creation by Scandinavian Creation Theology, I argue that creation destabilises the distinction Cavanaugh draws between what he considers to be church and what he considers not to be church. I account for creation as a web of vulnerability in which all creatures are vulnerable to both creature and creator. In contrast to Cavanaugh's strong and stable church, I advocate for what I call "coalitional church": a church that can enter into coalitions with Christians and non-Christians in order to call for conditions under which vulnerable life is liveable. The public and political task of churches is not necessarily to fight the state, but to hold the state accountable to its citizens, whether they are Christian or non-Christian.
