So there's this concept in Christianity called the Body of Christ--Paul used it to describe the church:
"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. ...Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many." 1 Corinthians 12:12
There are so many ways this passage gets lived out in the Christian faith--when denominations gather together to worship at their annual conferences, synods, and assemblies; when we join with other congregations to pray about a particular situation; when we individually stand up for justice, peace, love, or hope and our collective stands make a powerful witness to God's presence in the world.
But lately, for me, the Body of Christ has boobs.
