Day 92. What is the Church? (2025)

Today is day 92 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the fourteenth line: “The Holy Catholic Church”.

92. What is the Church?

The Church is the whole community of faithful Christians in heaven and on earth, called and formed by God into one people. The Church on earth gathers to worship God in Word and Sacrament, to serve God and neighbor, and to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth. (Exodus 19:4–6; Psalm 22:22–23; Matthew 28:19–20; Ephesians 2:11–22; 1 Peter 2:4–10; Articles of Religion, 19)

We will conclude today with a Historic Prayer for the Church found on page 532 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
