Gospel Koan 90.2

Atonement

Koan 90.2

Without atonement: the 'action to be at one' there would be no cause for conference: the 'condition of bearing together'.

Summary Exposition

The central mechanism establishes atonement as the necessary precondition for any conference of difference. The 'action to be at one' announces an intention to initiate a conference. For instance, a nation's formal acknowledgment of an historical injustice (the movement to be 'at one' with its full history) is the necessary action that creates the foundation for a new conference of difference. The profound implication is that the 'condition of bearing together' does not emerge spontaneously; it is actively initiated by the action to be at one.
