In all this debate and discussion surrounding Kuo’s book,  what I think Kuo misses (in what I have heard in interviews and read thus far in his book)  is the absence of a concept of church as politic rather than upon “personal transformation”.  Even most of what I see in “Christian Progressive” discussion is lacking a strong ecclesiology.  This is why I am constantly drawn to writings in the Radical Orthodoxy project. 

And here I don’t mean “ideas forthcoming from churches about how to solve this POLITICALLY”,  but the church AS the political solution;  the church AS the politic.  But unless the church is the polis;  the life together that we are called into,  this concept can only bring blank stares when we speak of it as a “solution”.
