The Holy Scriptures speak of the Church as the Body of Christ and call its members to live lives that are rooted in Christ and grow together in love, thanksgiving and service to God and neighbor. To be a Christian is to be part of a new creation, a new humanity guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The Church is to be a community of truth, justice and mercy, compassion and reconciliation, mutual service and steadfast faithfulness. The Church’s relationships should exemplify this as a sign to the world.
