Abstract

This essay explores the less examined facets of communion and sacramentality within the church, emphasizing the dynamic nature of the church as continually ‘in-becoming’. It applies the concept of ‘negative work’ to approach dynamics of difference, disruption, and transformation, spotlighting the church as an evolving entity in a continuous state of ‘becoming’. The essay reevaluates sacramentality, shifting from establishing unity to emphasizing the mysterious and uncontrollable. By employing ‘negative work’, and analysing its implications for the understanding of sacramentality and communion, it explores a church as oriented towards transformation and ‘negative’ participation.
