We say all sorts of things out of love for one another, most of them helpful and a only a few of them in need of correction. Beloved friends in Christ, I say with all gentleness and love, that's not so. That cannot be. Arrogance divides the church. Party strife divides the church.
Swollen egos divide the church.
All forms of sin divide the church, but the risen Christ does not divide the church. This is the Table of the risen Christ. He is the host. He is present in this Supper, in the eating and drinking in his name. He is made known to us in the breaking of the bread by a mystery we can welcome, but never comprehend.
