Our Theologian in Residence, the Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, continues a year-long course to dive into all the main areas of theology: Faith, Scripture, Tradition, God, Christ, Salvation, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, and the Church – always with an eye to their relevance for spirituality and for everyday life.

When we hear the expression “the body of Christ” most of us think to the Eucharist. Interestingly, at least during the first five centuries of Christianity, anyone hearing this expression would have thought to the Church first: through baptism the community of believers is so united to Christ that becomes not only one body with him, but truly Jesus’ own body. This shift in emphasis matters to our faith. Reflecting on the Church as the Body of Christ will help us to see more clearly the connection between worship and community.

The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer.
