How does the body of Christ, the church, move from bodily passivity to body activity? This activity does not necessitate a certain type of political action, but it does involve the commitment to move toward the actual embodiment of Christ in the world. Without compromising the specific calling of the church, how do we understand an active body of Christ as it interacts with the body of the city? If the perception of the human body shapes the body of the city, then the way the church understands itself as the embodiment of Christ should transform our interaction with the body of the city.
