We hear the phrase “The Body of Christ” often throughout our Episcopalian liturgies. But have you ever paused to consider what it means for us to be a part of Christ’s body? Our friend, the lax bro-turned-BCP-loving Vicar, Rev. Joe Dewey, helps us peel back the curtain on this threefold concept, examining the physical body of Christ, sacramental body of Christ, and ecclesial body of Christ. We discuss the mind-bending nature of the Incarnation, how Episcopalians should respond to the existence of other denominations, our role in bringing about the kingdom of God, and how the Body of Christ is similar to a potluck. Spoiler alert: Annie cries tears of joy.
