The Church My Home

What is the church? Being a PK (Pastor's Kid) the church is home. I am not trying to be spiritual here. But church is literally home! My family and I lived in a parsonage which was next to the church building within the church compound. But is Church just a building, a location or a physical structure that is visible? How a person should define the Church? What does it means to be a Church?

This is going to be a journey of discovery for me this semester. In the first class of my Ecclesiology and Eschatology class I am faced with a question of true unity between the Protestant, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Coming from a protestant tradition I realised that our tradition and understanding of the Church has its limitations and shortcomings. We are far from being the only True Church tradition. The fact that the Protestant churches are divided to consist of more than 50,000 denomination speaks louder than words about the depth of our understanding about what the Church is.

Perhaps it is time to look at our brethren from the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic for a different and perhaps more authentic understanding? Perhaps there is something that we can learn about their understanding of their church that amazingly unifies them as one within millions of their members. Perhaps we need to seriously re-examine our ecclesiology when we cannot even embrace our brethren from the different traditions because of our own presuppositions.
