The Ecclesia

This is a short talk on the structure of the Christian church as a place of people formed of the people of faith. It is a spiritual concept and metaphysical entity, not a physical thing. One cannot see it but it can be describe by its component ideas and elements. Naturally we have to use words with physical correlates like Councils, but these words ought to be viewed as applying to a different sort of idea. While an Ecclesiastical Council will have people that make it up, it is not a group of persons sitting around a grand table making up rules for the proletariat to follow. The Ecclesiastical Council is an association of saints replacing all other civil units and is a comprehensive solution to human social problems.
