The lie that we cannot shake is that we do not need the covenant community, that when we "serve" we are actually sacrificing something of ourselves. The truth of the Church is that we become our true, full selves by participating (serving) in the body of Christ. This logic is so foreign to the logic of the marketplace that as our Churches become sites of market transactions we will lose our ability to reaffirm this truth.
