Presentation Title
Embodied Church
Session Number
Main Session #2
Description
Many Christians in the west today think of "church" as an optional add-on to their individual relationship with Christ. This plays out in me-centered spirituality based on preference. The solution can be found in commitment to the local, embodied community of the church.
Treat expanded on the idea of a society that craves acceptance through their phones. He called students to be less dependent on the idea of being able to do everything while being alone together. Treat explained that Christians should seek each other's presence and company as part of the Church. "When Jesus discussed the importance of his death, he did not give a lecture, " Treat said. "He served a meal."
