Abstract: Mereological Harmony principles necessitate that any entity occupying a complex location must have parts located there. These principles can conflict with an omnipresent simple God. This paper lists potential sources of conflict, showing how most
occupation-based accounts of omnipresence must reject Harmony. I then outline a new occupation-based theory that completely avoids such conflicts. The central idea --- motivated by divine transcendence and immensity -- is God's all-pervading transcendence:
God is weakly located everywhere but lacks any exact or entire location in spacetime.</p>
