What Does Perichoresis Mean?

Genuine acceptance removes fear and hiding and creates freedom to know and be known. In this freedom arises a fellowship and sharing so honest and open and real that persons involved dwell in one another. There is union without loss of individual identity. When one weeps, the other tastes salt. It is only in the Triune relationship of Father, Son and Spirit that personal relationship of this order exists, and the early church used the word perichoresis to describe it. The good news is that we have been included in this relationship and it is to be played out fully in each of us and in all creation.
