incarnational
Taking bodily form
Incarnational describes something relating to or emphasizing incarnation—the embodiment of a deity or spirit in human form.
The term appears most often in Christian theology, where it refers to God becoming flesh in Jesus Christ.
Incarnational ministry or incarnational theology stresses presence and embodiment over abstraction: Their incarnational approach meant living among the people they served.
