The Christian community is what the Church is constituted of. Community and

Church are the same. They both have their roots and origin in the divine, in the ultimate

reality. The Church is not merely a collection of believers, of people taking part in the

same ceremonies and practices, believing in the same principles. The Church is both

visible and invisible, heavenly and earthly. It exists within the time-space continuum and

outside it at once. In a Platonic sense, the Christian community (Church) is the Idea

which is reflected by every individual taking part in it (every Christian as an individual).

Likewise, the Apostles' Creed is rooted in the eternal truth, in the eternal principles

expressed in Scripture, in the teaching of Christ, and in the books of the Christian

theologians. All this should indicate that the Christian faith is not merely a matter of

convention, but it is instead a matter of correspondence between our beliefs and practices,

on the one hand, and the ultimate reality (God), on the other.
