[9] Thomas (1995:91)"To speak of God's action in the contemporary world is to raise the problem of Christus extra muros ecclesiae - of Christ outside the walls of the Church. We cannot confine the divine activity to ecclesiastical activity, we also have to recognize that the event of Christ has irreversibly changed the world, and we have therefore to seek traces of this among [persons] who may have little or no connexion[sic] with the churches as they are today." Taken from World Council of Churches, The Church for Others and the Church for the World, (Geneva:WCC, 1967).
