Consubstantiating

/ˌkɒnsubˈstænʃieɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The present process of causing things to share the same substance or to unite in nature.

Etymology

From 'consubstantiate' (verb) with '-ing' (present participle marker). The '-ing' form describes the ongoing or continuous action of substances becoming unified.

Kelly Says

The ongoing nature of this word was important to theologians—instead of describing a one-time magical moment, 'consubstantiating' suggests a continuous spiritual process happening every time someone takes communion.
