"To speak with vast and misleading generality, there is in the world at the moment a conflict between the dispossessed and the rich ... It seems to me that the first thing a christian will want to say about his moral position is that he belongs with this revolution. I say 'belongs with it' rather than 'belongs to it' because the christian revolution goes in and through this kind of revolution to something deeper, to the ultimate alienation of man which is sin and ultimate transformation which is death and resurrection ... The christian, then, cannot identify his christianity with participation in the revolution though he can certainly point to the absurdity of a christian not participating..." --Herbert McCabe OP, Law, Love and Language (1968), 164-170

^^^^^ CB: Is this a variation of the idea that Christians strive to be in the world but not of it ?
