ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on Christian ideas and includes other religious beliefs. Making oneself at home implies letting space embrace the self and responding creatively by building in and with transient space. Longing for and touching eternity is not at all impossible; it is in fact the opposite—it morphs and takes on new shapes in urban space. Urban space offers many places where one can make oneself at home. To rephrase it in German: Beheimatung ist Wohnen im Gewoge. Making oneself at home is living in turmoil. As a collage, Beheimatung means constantly figuring out the pieces and weaving them into one crazy quilt. In a truly spiritual sense, Beheimatung moves one in between places and spaces, and it interconnects macro and micro scales. The chapter shows that the Triune God makes himself at home through the movement from the first to the second to the third—an inter-Trinitarian movement that, in Eastern theological thinking, represents the most perfect form of community.
