'...why go to church? Answer: Because church is who you are. Church is the most concrete expression of your union with Christ. Church is not about you. Sure, the church service you could pull together with a fast internet connection and a warm cup of milk at home would be pretty sweet, but it wouldn't fit the Bible's picture of church because it wouldn't involve you blessing the body of Christ with the particular gift(s) has given you. And it is as we fulfil that role of blessing the body that we learn most deeply what it is to be connected to Christ - to be his.'
Rory Shiner, One Forever, p.73.
