36 1 | The Present State of the Church~
37 1, 25 | 25. The Church needs to reflect upon itself
38 1, 26 | 26. As we all know, the Church is deeply rooted in the
39 1 | Dangers and Their Remedy~The Church itself is being engulfed
40 1 | may be committed to the Church, they are deeply affected
41 1 | at the very roots of the Church. It drives many people to
42 1 | views. They imagine that the Church should abdicate its proper
43 1 | teaching and discipline of the Church of Christ. ~An effective
44 1 | self-awareness on the part of the Church. The Church must get a clearer
45 1 | part of the Church. The Church must get a clearer idea
46 1 | by the tradition of the Church under the inspiration and

59 1 | of Christ, which is the Church, a doctrine revealed originally
60 1, 31 | relevant to the needs of the Church in our day. With a richer
61 1, 31 | literature on the subject of the Church and the fact that it is
62 1 | exemplary submission to the Church's teaching authority, have
63 1 | illustrations of the doctrine on the Church, many of which are quite

67 1, 34 | which, as We said above, the Church must make to come to a fuller

77 1, 36 | Gospel, and influenced by the Church's culture and community
78 1, 37 | 37. The mystery of the Church is not a truth to be confined

97 2, 41 | powerful and effective the Church really is. It goads it into
