One of the saddest things that can happen when someone deconstructs is that they remove themselves from a corporate expression of the body. That is to say, they live as if Christianity is not to be understood within the context of the body. But, within a good local body, you will find both community and religious rituals, which help us to stay grounded in our past and present identity and focused on the future. This lesson covers a lot of ground, but I hope it helps!
