There's a curious phrase near the end of the Apostles' Creed: we affirm the holy catholic church. It is easy for that to just sound like religious speak - what do we actually mean when we use words like holy, catholic, or church? Listen as Pastor Clint unpacks this statement by looking at the first days of the church in Acts 2.

2. “God sees the creation of a community of different cultures united by faith in his Son as a manifestation of the expansive nature of his grace. This expansiveness is unfulfilled unless the differences are seen and celebrated, not as ends unto themselves, but as particular manifestations of the power of the Spirit to bring forth the same holiness among different peoples and cultures for the glory of God.” -Esau McCaulley, "Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope"
3. “Let him who cannot be alone beware of community... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone... Each by itself has profound perils and pitfalls. One who wants fellowship without solitude plunges into the void of words and feelings, and the one who seeks solitude without fellowship perishes in the abyss of vanity, self-infatuation and despair.” -Bonhoeffer, "Life Together"
