Christ in You - The Sacredness of Relationship

What is it that weaves between us...

Well this discussion group on "Experiencing the Christ" is finally open formally.  By a wonderful piece of synchronicity John Ralph has just posted a link to an article on the therapeutic relationship:

George Kunz considers what makes therapy therapeutic and reaches the conclusion that the relationship between client and counsellor has a religious quality.  http://www.meaning.ca/archives/archive/art_what-makes-therapy-theraputic_G_Kunz.htm [1]

We think that the Christ is a being we must experience separately, perhaps through a vision in the clouds.  That's all very well for those who have such experiences, but for the rest of us I wonder if we can find the Christ sometimes in our relationships, in "what weaves between us" when we come together in one way or another.  I think this article is a great example of "Christ in You" at work in human relationships.

What do others think?  Is the Christ to be found by approaching every relationship, every human being as sacred?  How can this be done?  Does anyone have experiences great or small they can share?
