We are the Chruch, the Body of Christ.
Church is the assembly of the People that God has called together from the ends of the earth.
In Catholic usage, the word "Church" has three inseparable meanings:
+ The People that God gathers in the whole world
+ The local church (diocese)
+ The liturgical (above all Eucharistic) assembly
The Church draws her life from the Word and the Body of Christ, and so herself becomes Christ's Body.
In the Nicene Creed (from 325 A.D.), the Church is professed to be one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.
With love in Christ.

We are those "called out"(ecclesia) to turn from sin,despair,hatred and cynicism and those called together to live by grace through faith,hope and love. We are united by striving to live by Grace and conform our lives to the Gospel in all its promises and demands.
