Here again we see a clear reflection of the constitutive-normative christology that supports the Catholic model. Georges Khodr, metropolitan of Mount Lebanon in Lebanon (a diocese of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch), speaks for his tradition when he insists that "the economy of Christ cannot be reduced to its historical manifestation." Rather, the economy of Christ is carried on universally in all religions through the activity of the Spirit. Through the Spirit, Christ is actively but clandestinely present in all religions: "Any reading of religions is a reading of Christ."

Khodr will brook "no blurring of the centrality and ontological uniqueness of Christ Jesus." Like Rahner and the Roman Catholics, he attests to "a secret form of communion with all men in the economy of the Mystery whereby we are being gradually led towards the final consummation, the recapitulation of all things in Christ." Christ in his church remains normative.70
