What would be the problem of 'bringing the Christ force into the sacred
space' (into the midst of the Church; 'where we are gathered in His Name')? 
Wouldn't this be a Mass?  How different would that be from a Roman Catholic
Service, except that we are all standing around the altar?

                            +   oo   +
                        +       oo       +
                      +         oo         +

I think that Christ in a Circle makes perfect sense, don't you?  


Here are some symbolic associations aligning with this formation:

The positive mathematical symbol (+) combined with the nul (o), creation out 
of nothing.  Straight and curved figures, feminine and masculine geometries 
(kteisic and phallic, ovum and spermatozoa), the Medicine Wheel.  The Paten and 
Chalice, the Hermetic Watchtowers, the Wiccan Quarters and the Tibetan Palace 
of Shambhala.  The Wheel and Axis, the Church (Bride/Lady) and Jesus Christ 
(Groom/Lord), the OX (Aleph/Fool), and the astrological symbol for 'Earth'.
