This morning, Dave Blow offers a reflection on what it means to be a part of the body of Christ, building on the reflection about unity that was offered last month on the Community Sunday. To be party of the body of Christ is not a matter of attendance or belief, but an existential state of being.

Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.
