What Is The Church

By Julia Craig

What is the Church?
Where is the Church?
Who are the Church?
What does it do to rationalize it’s existence?

Do I need the Church?
Dopes the Church need me?
Is God in the Church?
Must I Worship God?

The Church is there in history,
In society, in the world, in my soul.

The Church is God’s body,
God’s spirit, God’s way
of communicating
with people, with me.

The Church is a building
of hewn stone, mortar, brick,
painted siding, woven straw.

The Church is a community,
doctors, lawyers, teachers,
dentists, labourers, children,
and tribal elders and chiefs.

The Church within me is
a spiritual center of
my very being.

The Church in the world,
the office, the park,
the playground, the field,
and even in wars.

The Church universal in
strife torn areas,
Ireland, South America,
Africa and the mid-east,
the first world Church.

We are the Church!
