The Full Counsel Part 4: A Greater Connection to the Church Universal - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

            The
Nicene Creed emphasizes a belief in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
Often, Protestants seem to grow uncomfortable or even disassociate with such a
statement likely because of misunderstanding its meaning. Catholic, in the
context of the Nicene Creed, simply means universal; apostolic means
originating with the Apostles of Christ. With such an understanding, all
Christians should agree. Protestants and evangelicals may boldly declare in
truth that they are a part of the one holy catholic and apostolic church. Christians
are a part of a body before they are individuals. Thus, God’s people throughout
the ages are linked together as a part of a single organism. Liturgy not only
exhibits unity among the people of God but also affords God’s people to
experience a greater connection to the church universal. Through liturgy,
Christians share with global saints throughout time, share with Christ himself,
and exhibit unity in Christ. Though from every nation, Christians comprise one
body dispersed throughout the world and display unity through their use of the
same resource and tool: liturgy.
