I believe that many of the Eastern Fathers would have been amazed at Augustine's City of God—at the very conception of heaven as civic bliss. For the Eastern Fathers and Mother saw heaven as blinding light, or a dark corner where man can rest, or as a face, or a throne, or a quiet flame upon which to meditate. God is one because He is multitudinous.
