In Theology of Play, Moltmann argues that Christians should become “congregations of the liberated,” as they practice being-with/for-others.373 He envisions Christians being in relationship with the oppressed and marginalized so that all might experience the joy of liberation. In my revision of Moltmann’s work, I suggested that Christians are to embody hope through empathic, life-giving relationships, which can accommodate a wide range of emotional states and be experienced in a variety of situations, including those not associated with common understandings of playing.
