The body of Christ was alive, no longer trapped in stained-glass windows or books or systematic theology. The body of Christ was literal, living, hungry, thirsty, bleeding. Church was no longer something we did for an hour on Sunday, and church was not a building with a steeple…She came to life. The church became something we are—an organism, not an organization. Christ became so fresh and vibrant, it was like we had brought something dead back to life.
