Christianity rests on the conviction that God became flesh and blood in Jesus. This incarnational foundation projects Christianity into an ongoing pilgrimage, constantly asking how it finds expression and vital witness in the world’s changing history and culture.

That s a LONG sentence – with a mistake in it.
The mistake is almost certainly due to the person typing it out. Unless you mean the strange use of the comma before ‘and’ which was in the original.
I just finished this one. In some places it’s like reading the book of Acts and in others it’s like wading through treacle! Overall quite inspiring however.
The comma before “and” is an accepted use in several style manuals. I’ve heard it called the “Oxford comma, but wikipedia calls it the “serial comma.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma
