Community is not simply an important part of Christianity, it is at the core of who we are. Even our creeds use the plural pronoun to describe what we believe. Have you ever noticed that the Lord's Prayer is in the first person plural?
"Our Father...give us this day...our daily bread...forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed agains us...lead us not into temptation...deliver us from evil..."
A relatively new phenomenon has occurred in the West that tries to divorce our faith from the community. How can we be the Body of Christ if we we're not really a body? A hand is only a hand in reference to the arm. A knee is only a knee because it's connected to the leg. You get the point.
Scraps
-Can we be the body of Christ and be disconnected from the body?
Thoughts? Go.
