I was a church pastor for over forty years. I have been
retired for five years. I am wearing a new pair of glasses.
This past Sunday our pastor told us that we are not merely
doing church. We are the church. We are a people group within the larger Church of
Christ. Inherent in that statement and the theology of church to which it speaks, is the idea that being church concerns relationships, understanding,
mutually concerned, selfless, altruistic and well intentioned relationships.
