According to Christian belief, the Church, the Body of Christ, is more than just "the people" or "Christians" -- it is those people who have been engrafted into Christ himself and therefore it has real union with Christ, with the divine. To say that an organization, "just like the church, is the people who form it" suggests that the Church, like any other organization, is simply a human institution.

That is not what I meant to imply. I was trying to get across, that the church is not an institution that you have to go to, it is the people of God that make the church. Without being so wordy.


Of course, if the Church -- the one grouping of people on the planet that Christians believe has a divine nature -- has sinners among its ranks, can we expect to find any simply human institutions that isn't made up of sinners? Including GLOs?

None of this is about sinners - we are all sinners. Just to let you all know this is not an Anit-GLO thing - this is a Christ thing. There are so many Christians involved in Greek Letter Organizations, I happen to be married to one. So no, this is not putting anyone down. It really isn't about any of you. What you consider yourselves or what you personally believe. This ministry exists in the form of a Sorority. It has absolutely nothing to do with other organizations.
It sounds like everyone is dead set on making the sole purpose of this organization to put others down. That couldn't be further from the truth. Wether you join or not we exist to uplift, encourage and empower the body of Christ. Enough said....Either you get it or you don't. If you would like further information contact us. But remember this is not about you.



You are right that if people "stop trying to be so insulting and try listening, perhaps they will learn something." It goes both ways.
