Christ and the Church

This essay expounds upon 30 years of research and teaching in the field of ecclesiology to prove the divine origin of the Church and its importance in the life of a believer. Countering the sentiment that a Christian is saved independently of community, the author insists that following the footsteps of Jesus Christ entails a journey with “His Body”. This is not an etheral path but a flesh and blood junket through the views and sinews of our Lord where the spirit fills the material, the place called the Church.Archbishop Gregory Afonsky, Gregory Afonsky
