“If the Church exists, it is not because the men and women who compose it are part of the same club or have the same affinities. We are forced to note that in certain churches, clans are formed. What then seems to take priority is no longer the common attachment to God, but the simple fact of being good together.
It's not bad in itself, but it's not the goal of the Church."
If the Church is deprived of its foundation, criticism and conflicts can quickly disintegrate the community and make it an unlivable place. However, the Church “should be an open place, a place where everyone feels in their place, within the same family; a family which has one and the same concern: the proclamation of the gospel. "The origin and foundation of the Church are the love of God manifested to each man. The Church is this gathering of beings loved by God and who love God, and who therefore love one another."
Calling on the principles of Scripture, and drawing examples from cinematographic and literary works, Laetitia Chamard describes in a creative and personal way the attitudes which favor the existence of a rich and beneficial community life. Each chapter ends with a biblical reading accompanied by questions that will allow the reader, alone or in a group, to continue reflection.
