Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker regards the Church as Christ's body, yet laments that it has been harmed. Neglecting social needs and fearing to be nonconformists have left it blemished and scarred. The passage mixes reverence with sorrowful criticism, holding the institution to its own high calling.
