The Eucharistic Koinonia in ‘Oriko-Perspective’: Challenge to Human Relationships and Interconnectivity

About the Book

Our world is in relational disorder and disorganization-ally structures. There is need for a redirection from the bizarre status quo. This book presents itself, in advancing relational ideals and values, to the realization of mutual co-existence and conviviality in the world using the eucharistic koinonia in ‘oriko-perspective’ as a model. Appropriate interconnectedness and mutuality in interpersonal relationships need be re-inculcated in people’s living. As ill relationships have suffused into all crannies and aberrational waves strongest now, the enthronement of the eucharistic koinonia renews the imperative call for all to advocate appropriate human relationships and the sense of interconnectedness. It is appalling that the world is riddled with relational maladies and nefarious tendencies. Regrettably, people have churned out unjust relational structures, which blindfold and lure them away from mutuality in interpersonal relationships and interconnectivity. Appropriate relational renewal has to be effectuated to counter these ugly scenarios. The status quo has to be frontally confronted and challenged with the enriched relational ideals and values of the eucharistic koinonia in ‘oriko-perspective’ for holistic cobelonging, appropriate interpersonal relationships, and the true sense of interconnectedness.
