What does this mean? Was ist das? The great Lutheran question that gets at the deep meaning.
But do we now ask the question “What did this mean?” Do we stop at an intellectual belief?
We need to work towards “Who am I.”
Now, read “Lest Innocent Blood be Shed” by Philip Hallie. This is what it means to be church.
Be Church!!

I saw a T-Shirt that said,
"Don't go to Church,
Be The Church!!!"
I think that's a false distinction. The church is where the community gathers for worship and prayer. Of course, it's not the ONLY place, but, like the Temple, the building houses the gathered people of God.
"Being" the church rises out of "going" to church if we truly believe that Christ is present in the word proclaim and in the bread and wine given. It's the gospel that produces discipleship, not finger waving.
