What Is the Kingdom of God?
"The Kingdom may exist in the individual human heart, in groups, in institutions, in nature and in the cosmos as a whole," writes McBrien. "The Kingdom of God is as broad and as overarching as the presence of God which renews and transforms, and recreates everything touched by it."
The Church serves the Kingdom without becoming identical to it or interchangeable with it. To recognize God's abiding presence in our midst and to work always to remove obstacles to its [the Kingdom's] inbreaking are our fundamental missionary responsibilities. God's gift is our task."
