I thought I'd keep it simple without adding any leading statements or questions. Just describe what church is to you.
The body of believers (not the pews they sit in.)

Yes. Many that sit in the pews are not in the Church. God will separate the sheep from the goats someday.
It may go without saying, but the One the believers believe in should also be there.


It's His church, and without Him there is no church. I'm afraid this simple truth may have been lost on a great many churches.

Oh this is easy.
The Vatican is The Church.
