Rather than spending her adult
years in a convent, Dorothy Day, who founded the Catholic Workers Movement in
the twentieth century, could distill religious experience through her activity
in the world—the sacred essentially coming up through the profane. This is not
to confound these two spheres, just as Christology has held since the Council
of Nicaea (325 CE) that the two natures, human and divine, of Christ do not mix
within his one essence. In fact, even within the religious sphere, Day could
distinguish qualitative differences between God as personified and as
impersonal in nature.
