When have you experienced being made whole by community?
I find one of the blessings of community in saying the Apostle's Creed in worship. The Creed expresses not just my faith, but the faith of the church. That means in the times when I have trouble believing certain lines in the creed, I can lean on the voices that literally surround me. When one of us has trouble trusting in, say, the resurrection of the body, or one of us has trouble with the virgin birth of Jesus, in that moment others can confess that belief for us. We are not in this alone.
