This essay expounds upon 30 years of research and teaching in the field of ecclesiology to prove the divine origin of the Church and its importance in the life of a believer. Countering the sentiment that a Christian is saved independently of community, the author insists that following the footsteps of Jesus Christ entails a journey with "His Body". This is not an etheral path but a flesh and blood junket through the views and sinews of our Lord where the spirit fills the material, the place called the Church.
