Looks at the church, when it is truly the church, as community –– The Beloved Community of Christ. Did Jesus intend to create a church? What about the terrible things done by the church as established authority? Can I just be a Christian at large? Was Thomas Merton, the modern Christian mystics correct in saying the church is the antidote to the sort of individualism that leads to human despair?
