Sacramental Sharing in the Divine Life: Hooker emphasized the importance of Incarnation in Anglican theology. Through God taking on human form He gave holiness to the world, allowed people to become part of the divine life, and He gave the basis for Baptism and Eucharist, where people become the children of God.
