This will not be easily or quickly discovered, since the secular city is still a developing reality, and its language and concepts far from established. For that reason, Cox suggests that the church may have to declare a moratorium on talk about "God" until there comes a better way of expressing the real meaning of this now all-but-incomprehensible word...
