Overview

The Christian community is what the Church is constituted of. Community and Church are the same. They both have their roots and origin in the divine, in the ultimate reality. The Church is not merely a collection of believers, of people taking part in the same ceremonies and practices, believing in the same principles. The Church is both visible and invisible, heavenly and earthly. It exists within the time-space continuum and outside it at once. In a Platonic sense, the Christian community (Church) is the Idea which is reflected by every individual taking part in it (every Christian as an individual). Likewise, the Apostles' Creed is rooted in the eternal truth, in the eternal principles expressed in Scripture, in the teaching of Christ, and in the books of the Christian theologians. All this should indicate that the Christian faith is not merely a matter of convention, but it is instead a matter of correspondence between our beliefs and practices, on the one hand, and the ultimate reality (God), on the other.
