The Nicene Creed, the great statement of faith of Christianity that most Anglicans confess every Sunday morning, says that we “believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.” This means that we are part of a single, undivided, worldwide church. Christ doesn’t have many bodies on earth, he only has one body. The church appears divided because of leadership differences and theological disagreements, but the church is one in a deeply mystical sense. We catholic Christians have a commitment to live out the oneness of the church whenever we can.
