Notes
In the story of Christianity,
there have always been folks who believed
that they could be Christians without a church community. It is probably
to challenge this notion that some of the first Christian writings were
instructions about how Christians live and work together. The early
epistles of St. Paul were addressed to church communities, not to individuals.
They taught about a life together, not a Christian life lived alone.
Our independent spirits can sometimes prompt us to believe that we can
find salvation alone, but in the Christian experience that is not possible.
You cannot tell the story of God without telling the story of Israel.
You cannot tell the story of Jesus without telling the story of his
followers. When we say the creed at Sunday Mass, it is not an accident
that after we profess what we believe in God, we follow it with a profession
of a belief in a church—"we believe in One, Holy Catholic, and Apostolic
