[but] they are silent about Christ&#8230; according to them, Christ cannot be understood by those who lack Christian faith, whereas different peoples, cultures and religions are capable of finding common ground in the one divine reality, by whatever name it is called. For the same reason they put great stress on the mystery of creation, which is reflected in the diversity of cultures and beliefs, but they keep silent about the mystery of redemption. Furthermore, the kingdom, as they understand it, ends up either leaving very little room for the Church or undervaluing the Church in reaction to a presumed &#8220;ecclesiocentrism&#8221; of the past, and because they consider the Church herself only a sign, for that matter a sign not without ambiguity. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>This is not the kingdom of God as we know it from Revelation.
