Would never use the term "proxy" in relation to an ever-present God. It makes it sound like He isn't present and people are acting on His behalf. Understand, we believe He is truly present in Spirit and acting "through" His body.
"...THERE
I AM AMONG THEM."
Face it, the only thing that keeps you clinging to this "proxy" notion is the fact that you don't like to be corrected. lol
