Christianity has survived two thousand years. But in that time it
has cast itself into innumerable forms. It has diversified and
subdivided to the point where, in some cases, one group of
Christians hardly recognises another as professing the same
religion. Many Christians do not understand each other when it
comes to expressing their faith, and there are such cultural
differences in the varied incarnations of that faith that it is
often impossible for one group to feel in the least at home with
the other, or indeed to share at least the basic presuppositions of
any degree of 'communion' with each other. Yet, Christians are all
baptised into the same Body, and, in the words of the First Letter
to the Corinthians, they share a cup that 'is a communion with the
blood of Christ, ' and share the bread which 'is a communion with
the body of Christ. The fact that there is one loaf -- the letter
continues -- means that, though there are many of us, we form a
single body...' This image, supplemented by others, such as the
vine and the branches, indicate that, being one in Christ, as
Christians believe they must be for their very salvation, is a sort
of organic communion through which a single common life is shared.
