摘要：I remember the first time I ever really considered the concept of the unity of the Church. I have
been a Christian since childhood; fluent and well-versed in the subtleties of that elusive tongue:
Christianese. If someone had asked me when I was sixteen years old whether I ¡°believed the Church was
one body,¡± I am certain I would have answered in the affirmative. But if asked the same question at any
time since the summer of 2003 (when I was nineteen, in case you are wondering), my answer, though
unaltered, would carry with it much greater and deeper meaning.
