  4. Perichoresis • The doctrine of the Trinity. The word is derived from the Greek “peri-choresis” which translates as, “peri” meaning around, “choresis” meaning to dance (the same root as choreography). The relationship between the Persons of the Trinity was described, by early Christians, as an eternal Holy Dance of each Person in the Trinity around and within the Others. (wordnik)

  6. Perichoresis • “The term perichoresis, circumincessio, immanentia, was meant to express the peculiarity of the relations of the Three Divine Persons or Subsistences -- their Indwelling in each other, the fact that, while they are distinct they yet are in one another, the Coinherence which implies their equal and identical” • NPNF2-09. Hilary of Poitiers, John of Damascus

  7. Perichoresis • “Moreover, I realized -- experienced, even -- at long last, that "the Body of Christ" is a good deal more than a figure of speech; it is an appalling truth and mystery, uniting us beyond our knowing with one another, and uniting us with an ever greater mystery, the perichoresis ( "circling dance") of the Holy Trinity Who is our One God.” • The Huffington Post: Scott Cairns: Recovering the Body of Christ
